What’s Included in the Free Download

A bookmark‑sized layout perfect for cardstock, fabric strips, or laminated inserts
A stitch‑friendly design with open space and minimal clutter
Optional color and bead suggestions to help you customize your look

Suggested DMC Color Palette

These colors keep the “fireworks” energy while staying soft, floral, and stitch‑friendly:

DMC 310 Black — crisp outlines
DMC 603 Cranberry Pink — bright bursts
DMC 742 Tangerine Light — warm spark accents
DMC 907 Parrot Green Light — fresh stems
DMC 995 Electric Blue — cool contrast sparkles

If you want a softer, more botanical look, you can swap the brights for muted tones like DMC 3716, DMC 3812, or DMC 3348.

Optional Bead Embellishments

Adding beads gives the bookmark a true “fireworks” shimmer. Here are bead ideas that work beautifully with the design:

Seed beads size 11/0 in gold, silver, or iridescent white — perfect for spark centers
Bugle beads for elongated spark lines
Crystal AB microbeads for a subtle twinkle
Pearl seed beads for a softer, floral interpretation

Stitch them sparingly for a delicate shimmer, or cluster them for a bold celebratory effect.
