Yarn Used For This Crochet Flower Bookmark
I used 3-ply, 100% crochet cotton for these bookmarks, which is similar to #0 lace (light fingering, 10-count thread) yarn.
It is lightweight and makes delicate and fine stitches and won't make a thick or bulky bookmark.
You could also use #1 super fine and #2 fine yarns, these a slightly thicker but will still make a lightweight bookmark.
You could also use #3 light (DK, light worsted, 8-ply) yarn, but keep in mind these bookmarks will be thicker and chunkier and might not sit well between the pages.
I choose cotton yarn because it is fuzz-free, strong, and durable and it lays flat which is essential for bookmarks.
But you could also use another fiber like bamboo yarn or silk yarn and even acrylic yarn if you like the look of it.

Working from the back of the flower, use a darning needle and the flower yarn tail to close the gap between the first and last petals, and make sure that the leaves and stems are on the wrong side (back) of the flower as you sew.
Once the gap is closed, arrange for the leaves and stem to hang down from the back of the flower.
Tack the top edges of each leaf to the back of the flower to hold them in place, secure the end, and fasten off.
The flower head may not sit flat a first, but pressing and gently pulling it with your fingers will make it sit flat.
