Last year we made a cute shark, a corner bookmark featuring a ferocious shark, but with summer approaching we thought it was time to do more (still in the process of finding fish).

So today we want to share with you these cool octopus corner bookmarks.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle with the colored side out.

Do the same with the left side.

Open both.

Fold the same corners again, this time folding upwards.

A square will form.

Finally, take the same corners (now on top) and tuck them inside the formed pocket.
