How to Make an Origami Corner Bookmark

Easy4 steps Toys and things

A corner bookmark that slips over the corner of a page, in four steps. Decorate it as a monster, a cat or an animal face.

You need: One square of paper. 15 cm (6 inch) origami paper is ideal; any square sheet works.

Step by step

1
Start with the coloured side up, turned like a diamond. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner.
2
Fold the top point of the front layer down to the middle of the bottom edge.
3
Fold the left corner up to the top, tucking it in between the front and back layers.
4
Do the same with the right corner.
✓
Slip the pocket over the corner of a page. Draw a face or teeth on it to make a monster bookmark.

The finished bookmark is half as wide as your square: a 15 cm (6 inch) square gives a 7.5 cm (3 inch) bookmark.
Crease the corner folds firmly so the pocket holds the page.
