Corner bookmarks are not at all difficult to make, as this is one of the easiest origami variations. Try making funny animals that will cheer you up every time you need to bookmark a book. For everything to work out for you, exactly follow each step shown in the photo.
What do you need for corner bookmarks?
- colored paper;
- Colored cardboard;
- White and black paper;
- Black felt-tip pen, simple pencil, scissors, glue stick.
How to bookmark a corner?
First you need to make the corners themselves, and then turn them into funny animals. Since we start with a frog, we will make a green bookmark. To do this, you need a sheet of green paper. You need to make a square out of it. You can measure its even sides with a ruler, or you can take the paper by the corner and fold it so that the two adjacent sides meet exactly. The strip formed on the side is cut off.
It turned out to be a rather large square.
Fold it in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Pictured below is the fold.
Grab the corner of only one piece of the folded paper and pull it to the side of the fold. Hold it down.
Two triangles are visible on the sides. Bend on one side, as shown in the photo.
And then on the other.
Straighten folded corners. Many actions in origami are needed only in order to make the desired fold line. And those who are already familiar with the technique skip many steps. So in creating corner bookmarks, three steps are definitely superfluous, in my opinion. But for beginners they are important.
Take one corner again, only now stretch it to the very top.
Fold the second corner in this way, press the sides so that all the folds are well marked.
And again, let's continue with the long-suffering corners, spread them out, and then wrap them up and place them in a pocket. Press the edges.
Do this with the second corner as well. Here is the bookmark corner. As you can see, two actions could definitely be skipped, and immediately at the first stage, place the corners in the pockets. But for beginners, it’s easier, clearer and easier, because with the help of the marked folds, everything quickly falls into place.
The green corner is ready, now we make a frog out of it.
We cut out two strips from green cardboard and one from red, round off the corners on one side. Cut out the eyes and pupils.
We glue everything on certain places, with a felt-tip pen we draw nostrils. Here is such a funny frog.
Excellent and convenient bookmark corner for a book.

Let's consider step by step how to do it.
To create a bright pigtail bookmark, prepare:

- two beads;
How to make a paper bookmark with your own hands
We recommend that you make a bookmark from contrasting colors of paper so that it turns out to be unusual and elegant. If you have thin strips of quilling paper, then take 4 strips - 2 strips of each color. From large A4 sheets, cut 2 thin strips. Using a ruler and pencil, draw lines, then cut out according to the template. The width can be 1 cm, and the length can correspond to the long side of the A4 sheet.
Prepare 2 pairs of strips for work. These are the main pieces.
Glue the first pair of strips at a right angle. Apply a drop of glue to the very end of the strip. Align the second strip, clearly adhering to the corners, press down on top with your fingers.
Next to the top strip, glue the first green one, adjoin it clearly to the red part, and also strictly observe a right angle.
Glue the second green strip on top with an overlap, aligning the edge with the edge of the workpiece.
Bend the right red strip to the left so that the sides of the parts are clearly aligned.
When you reach the end, glue the ends.
Prepare a thin satin ribbon and beads for tassels.
In the upper corner, make a hole with scissors or an awl, insert a ribbon into it, tie it in a knot. Thread beads onto the ends of the ribbon (one at each end) and tie knots so that the beads hold well. At this stage, you can also use a golden lace or other bright rope. At the bottom, you can mask the place for gluing the ends of the strips behind a paper emoticon or a cartoon face. By cutting out a suitable part from a children's magazine or packaging.
The bookmark in the form of a red-green pigtail is ready. This homemade little thing will definitely come in handy for a child, and you can make other options using suitable shades.

If you are a student, be sure to take a look at these lessons and choose what will be convenient for laying your notebooks in right places. In addition, many homemade bookmarks will fit perfectly into diaries or scrapbooks. In a word, they are universal - choose what you like.
Satin
This is more of a female version, because such a bookmark should be made from some old pendant or earring that has lost a pair. Well, such an accessory looks very romantic - not like a man.
We will need:
- satin ribbon (15-20 cm);
- accessories for bracelets;
- any pendant;
- pliers and cutters.
one end satin ribbon, which will be laid in the book, it is better to slightly melt it with fire so that it does not fray (take precautions!). The second end is placed in the fittings and clamped. We insert any decoration into the ring where the clasp is placed.
Take a look at the photo: these homemade bookmarks look like a stylish accessory, and not just a ribbon to fix the page.
It is not a shame to give such a bookmark to someone or use it in creating a notebook if you are engaged in such creativity.
Felt
This bookmark will appeal to schoolchildren and just lovers of cute little things. In this example, we will talk about how to make a DIY teddy bear felt bookmark, but you can choose any other template (you can look at our selection of stencils).
We will need:
- felt of different colors;
- foam paper;
- Super glue.
Draw an image or stencil it around. You can cut foam paper with a clerical knife or thin scissors, and you can sew on large felt parts with contrasting threads, making large stitches. Small parts need to be glued on superglue (it is very convenient to use a glue gun).
The base of the bookmark is best made from foam paper, as it is soft and plastic: hold the strip between two stenciled shapes and glue it.
Try adding interesting decor or embroidery to your homemade felt bookmarks - this will make them even more colorful and interesting.
From a postcard
Making a bookmark from a postcard is even easier, because it only takes a couple of minutes to create it. If you're used to bookmarking your books with postcards or cardboard, don't hesitate to spend a little time making something a little more original and cute.
We will need:
- any postcard or glossy cardboard;
- colored paper;
- markers.
We take any template of a triangular or rectangular shape.
We cut it out and make sure that our bookmark has "ears" cut out - this will make it more interesting. Next, you need to make a fixing part. If the stencil allows, cut the edge along the contour to get the back and front parts. If this does not work out, you can stick "paws" or "wings".
To decorate the bookmark, use colored paper and draw faces with "hairstyles" with a felt-tip pen. By the way, such bookmarks can be made miniature and used instead of stickers or abstract separators.
Magnetic
It is very convenient to use bookmarks on magnets. They do not fly out, but at the same time they fix the pages of books, which sometimes like to turn over themselves in the process of reading, if you do not hold them with your hand.
We will need:
- magnetic tape;
- any basis;
- Super glue.
As the main material, you can choose a postcard, colored cardboard with your application, velvet cardboard and something else. You can make a magnetic bookmark with your own hands from almost any beautiful material that is most often used to create this accessory.
Cut two pieces of magnetic tape that will be slightly narrower than the blank. We attach the tape with superglue. We do not recommend taking magnets that are too long and wide, since this is still a bookmark - too tight fixation is not needed.
Decorate your bookmark as you wish, change its shape (you can make it openwork).
With button
Staple bookmarks are very useful for fixing the pages of small books and personal notebooks. They turn out to be very bright and original, and even a child can make them with their own hands.
We will need:
- paperclip of any size;
- button;
- a piece of cloth;
- Super glue.
It is best to use colored paper clips, as they will look more beautiful and will not wrinkle the pages. Buttons can be taken not from fabric, but bookmarks with patterned fabric look much more interesting. Tightening a button is easy: drop a little glue into the center and spread it well over the button so that there are no smudges, and pull it off with a thread or glue it at the back.
Glue the paperclip by pushing it slightly under the fabric. If you do not want to use a button, you can stick a piece of cardboard covered with fabric - it will also work great. Bookmarks with a pearl bead at the top also look beautiful.
Children's bookmarks on sticks
If you want to make a bookmark for a child, you can choose almost any image that will be the basis of it. This is a very simple video tutorial that even your child will master.
Flip through coloring pages, sort out postcards or just draw fairy tale hero(or any other image) on cardboard. It is best to use kitchen skewers as a base, as they are very thin.
By the way, you can color the skewers with acrylic paints. But do not do it with gouache or watercolor - the paint will be imprinted on the book.
As you can see, making a bookmark with your own hands is a simple matter, but very useful. We hope you have found your own version or technique for making this accessory in this collection and are ready to supplement it with your own ideas. Well, with colorful bookmarks, reading will become much more interesting, and it will be much more pleasant to take notes.
