under “Paper patterns and templates” (or you can make your own using the instructions below)īelow, I’ll teach you how to make two similar-but-different types of corner bookmarks. page corner monster bookmark template number 3.other decorating tools, such as crayons, markers, stamps, stickers, ink pads, embossing powder, etc.pretty paper of cardstock weight OR a combination of plain cardstock and pretty, decorated lighter weight paper.Go you! I’m fairly certain that something this adorable and functional can’t be over represented in the world, though, so just keep right on making them. * This is probably no longer true, given the astonishing number of you who’ve found your way to this post and made your own page corner bookmarks. If you want a monster you can wear, try making a cozy bug-eyed fleece monster hat or some fingerless fleece monster gloves.įor the monster-loving adults in the room, try some googly-eyed paper monster wine charms. If you’re loving the toothy monster vibe, check out these simple monster heating bags, filled with rice or wheat and entirely microwavable, to keep toes or fingers or tummies warm during the chilly winter months. You can even stash some goodies or small presents in their pots. First, try making paper plants as lovely, lasting handmade gifts. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. Placeholders special enough for the books that are special enough to remain in your culled-out-of-spacial-necessity collection. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads.īut what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks.
Plenty of people around the internet have some cool ideas (and even printable templates!) for corner bookmarks as well.This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. I made these book monster bookmarks by adding eyes, teeth, and a different colored mouth to the square bookmark above. One of my favorite things about the square bookmark above is how you can make it look like a face.
There are some really cute ways to add onto these bookmarks. Now that you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to get creative. Look at you, you did it again! Another beautiful origami bookmark, made with your own hands. Stick the extra square into the pocket so that it covers the white side of the paper.Now, remember that extra square you cut off back at step 4? Find that.Tuck the sticky half of the triangle under the other triangle and press to glue together.Take the left triangle and fold it down while still open and sticky.
Fold down the right triangle, the one that is glued shut.Let it stay sticky as you take the next step. Use the glue stick on white part of the left side of the left triangle, but DO NOT STICK IT TO ITSELF as you did on the right side.Using a glue stick, place glue on the inside of the right triangle and stick it to down where you previously folded.Fold in the outer corner of the top left square so it also creates a triangle.Fold in the outer corner of the top right square so it creates a triangle. Turn the paper so the removed space is at the top and the blank side is facing up.Use scissors to cut off one of the squares along the creases.There should be creases, making the paper into four smaller squares. Fold the paper once horizontally into a rectangle, and then vertically into a square.I used a glue stick, but anything sticky works. Start with a square piece of paper, scissors, and glue.But that doesn’t make me love it any less. Technically when it comes to origami, this one is cheating because it requires scissors and a glue stick. I love the square origami bookmark because it gives you a little more space to decorate it. Now that you’ve mastered the classic triangle, you’re ready to try out something a little different. You can also add anything you want to the front of the bookmark to make it your own, like a flower, an initial, or a drawing. These are easy, useful, and great to make with kids, as they don’t require anything messy. Hooray! You did it! You made an origami bookmark! That wasn’t so bad, was it? Your finished product should look like this:
