While origami paper is definitely useful for this project, you can substitute it with regular printer paper. All you have to do is cut out a square and you’re ready to go!

What you need:

orange origami paper (or square paper)
some orange paper for the ears
brown paper for nose
red paper
white paper
black marker
drag
zigzag
glue
optional: wiggle eye sticker

You also need a great and engaging book to go with this bookmark ;).

Or follow this step-by-step folding guide

Start by folding the orange origami paper in half diagonally to form a triangle – colored side out.

Fold in half again to mark the center of the triangle. Unfold into the previous triangle.

You can skip this step but it is very helpful for young children.

Take one folded layer of paper, grab the top of the triangle and fold it down towards the middle.

You will see a white square if you use origami paper.

Now fold the bottom corners of the triangle to the bottom middle of the triangle.

Fold and unfold.

Next, take the same corners of the triangle and fold them towards the top of the triangle.

When you fold both shapes together, you will see an orange square.

Next, and this is the final step in the corner bookmark base, you need to tuck the edges of the cover into the pocket.

You just created a corner bookmark.

Now let’s decorate!

Color them.

Use zigzag scissors to cut a jagged line (you can also use regular scissors, it just takes a little longer). Glue them inside the bookmark.

Glue two eyes (you can use stickers or cut eyes out of white paper and draw them). Cut out a snout and glue it to the bookmark.

Cut two fangs out of white paper and glue them inside the bookmark.
