Blue Mini Flip-flop Crochet Bookmark

Difficulty level: easy

This is a really easy 3D bookmark to create to add so umph to your books and your reading life. Also doesn't take much time to finish one. After you've finished one you'd want to make other color variations like I am now. I hope you love it and have fun making it.

Feel free to ask questions if you need further clarification.
