Why This Kit Stands Out for Beginners
The Fukuri Glace bookmark canvas kit turns a simple embroidery project into a stylish, usable accessory. The design features a summery ice cream illustration on a modern canvas, and its compact size (5.5x15 cm) is meant to become a bookmark once finished. The kit is labeled "Trop facile !" — very easy — and is designed for beginners and children aged 10 and up, even if they have never held a needle before.
What the Kit Contains
- Kit canevas marque-page Glace - Fukuri: The kit includes a printed canvas (illustration 5.5x15 cm), one BOHIN rounded-tip canvas needle, complete skeins of thread, an instruction booklet, and a recyclable Fukuri cardboard box that doubles as storage. Knowing exactly what is in the box helps you start without needing extra supplies. The rounded-tip needle is safer for beginners, and the box keeps your work tidy between sessions.

Getting Started with Your Glace Bookmark
These steps are based on the kit's included instructions and common canvas embroidery practice. The kit also has a video tutorial (linked in the product page) that can guide you visually.
- Unpack and Organize: Open the cardboard box and lay out the canvas, needle, and thread skeins. The box is designed to store your work in progress, so keep it handy.
- Thread the Needle: Use the BOHIN rounded-tip needle. Separate a single strand from the skein if needed (the instruction booklet will specify). The needle's blunt end is easier for beginners to handle.
- Stitch the Design: Follow the printed pattern on the canvas. Use the thread colors provided to fill in the ice cream illustration. The kit is labeled for beginners, so you can use basic embroidery stitches like cross stitch or satin stitch as shown in the video tutorial.
- Finish and Transform into a Bookmark: Once the stitching is complete, trim any loose threads. The canvas is pre-cut to bookmark size (5.5x15 cm), so you can slide it into a book or add a ribbon if desired.
Tips for a Neat Finish
Keep your stitches even by not pulling the thread too tight — the canvas is sturdy enough to hold the thread without distortion. If you make a mistake, the canvas can be gently unpicked with the needle tip. The included instruction booklet and video tutorial are your best resources for stitch guidance. The kit is designed for relaxation ("Déconnexion assurée !"), so don't stress about perfection.
Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for absolute beginners in canvas embroidery, for children aged 10 and up, or for anyone looking for a quick, portable project. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift — the finished bookmark is unique and personal. Experienced stitchers might find it too simple, but the compact size and modern design can still be a fun, low-commitment project.
