Cross stitch turns into Bookmark

In one of my previous post  I have shown u a cross stitched piece.  Now that piece has turned into a bookmark.   I have cut two pieces of OHP sheet according to the size of the cross stitched piece.  Then placed one on the back and the other piece to the front of the stitched fabric.  Then using a thin green insulation tape I have stitcked it to all the four sides so that it forms a neat edge.   Now a perfect bookmark is ready.

 

Cross stitch bookmark

A small project in cross stitch.  Thought of making it into a bookmark.  Since the fabric is a 10 count aida fabric I worked with 6 strands so that the fabric is not seen in between the stitches.  The fabric is also very thick and I have to try to make it as a bookmark and see whether it works for a book mark or not.  Other wise it is going to turn into a cover for the fridge handle. 

 

The design is taken from Dhingra's cross stitch book.  If it turns out for the fridge then I make one more with two flowers and leaves for the top portion of the fridge.  Waiting for your feedbacks. 

 

Now the close up of the design.

 

 

I wanted to purchase 14 count aida fabric or 16 count to do cross stitch.  It is not available at my place.  can any one tell whether it is available in Bangalore and in which shop it is available.  If I get the cloth I can make do the cross stitch with 2 strands and the design will also be delicate to see.  Thanks in advance.
