This is the next craft in our series of origami bookmarks and farm animal craft ideas.

If this is your or your child’s first time doing an origami project, I guarantee you’ll be hooked! They’re really easy and quick to make, and the design and decoration possibilities are almost endless (we’ve created tons of designs ourselves – just scroll down to the bottom of the page to see some of the ideas we’ve shared for inspiration).

The cow bookmark has been on my “to do list” for a while because I knew the snout would look adorable and it is! The horns are also pretty unique, even more so because they look so happy to stick out when the book is closed.

So are you ready to fold your own cow corner bookmark? Follow our instructions and make one or a dozen.

We will illustrate the first steps with an orange sheet of paper because this way everything will be clearer.

Start by folding a sheet of origami paper in half (folding diagonally) to form a triangle.

Grab a layer of paper at the top of the triangle and fold it towards the bottom – a square will form.

Take one corner of the triangle and fold it towards the bottom middle. Unfold.

Do the same on the other side.

Now fold the same corners up to the top of the triangle.

Tuck the edges into the pocket.

Your corner bookmark base is now complete.

Now let’s turn this corner bookmark into a cow corner bookmark

Draw the spots with a black marker (or brown marker if you prefer brown and white cows).

Cut out a snout from pink paper. Draw nostrils.

Stick the snout on the bookmark.

Draw eyes or stick two moving eye patches.

Cut out horns from beige paper and glue them to the bookmark.

Your cow corner bookmark is ready!
