Equipment

  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Fold the paper to make a triangle. Cut off the extra paper.
  • Place the folded edge of the triangle down. Fold the right and left points of the triangle up to the top angle of the triangle. This looks like a diamond.
  • Unfold and then fold one corner of the top of the triangle down to the folded edge and crease well.
  • The next fold is a bit tricky but once you do it once it makes so much sense. Looking at the picture or video really helps.
    Fold the right point of the triangle up towards the top point and tuck it down inside of the pocket. Crease it well. Then repeat this step with the left point of the triangle.
  • Easy Tiger Origami Corner Bookmarks
  • A tiger is made with triangle ears, round white eyes, an oval nose (mine was yellow), and jagged white teeth. Glue these pieces on. 
    black marker creates the details of the eyes, nose, ears and stripes. 
  • Easy Frog Origami Corner Bookmarks
  • So, the frog takes a few more cut out pieces. Cut out some hind legs, some front legs, white circle eyes and glue them onto the bookmark. 
    The black marker is used to make details on the eyes and a smile. 
  • Easy Fox Origami Corner Bookmarks
  • This bookmark takes a switch and we turn it upside down to make the fox. That means it will fit on a bottom corner of your book page when it is used to mark your place.
    The fox needs cut out ears and white round eyes. Glue these pieces on then make the details on the eyes, ears and nose with a black marker.
