When you have a creative mind and love crafting things from scratch, seeing your creations scattered around the house brings a sense of joy and accomplishment. The same goes for your kids, as it boosts their self-esteem and belief in their abilities. If you and your family are into reading, here are some fantastic corner bookmark ideas that will come in handy.
Corner bookmarks are incredibly easy to make. Once you grasp the basic design, you can customize them to your liking by incorporating different themes or drawing your kids' favorite characters and attaching them. In this article, we'll show you how to create an origami corner bookmark and how to turn it into an adorable kawaii figure. Let's dive in!
Materials You'll Need
- Color paper or Origami paper (Feel free to experiment with different sizes. For this tutorial, we used a square paper measuring 10cm * 10cm).
- Crayons, oil pastels, or any coloring tools you prefer.
- Scissors and glue.
How to Fold a Corner Bookmark Step-by-Step
- Begin by taking a square sheet of paper. In this case, we cut a square paper measuring 10cm * 10cm.
- Fold the paper diagonally so that opposite corners meet, forming a triangle.
- Fold the lower right corner upwards to meet the top corner.
- Repeat the same with the lower-left corner.
- Unfold the folds made in steps 3 and 4. Fold the top corner (only one paper sheet) downwards to meet the horizontal edge, creating a crease.
- Fold the left corner and insert it into the crease, which acts as a pocket.
- Repeat the same with the right corner.
- Voila! You've successfully created a basic Origami corner bookmark.
Now, let's move on to making it extra pretty.
