Description: Want to take your Christmas presents to the next level? Our corner bookmark tutorial is just what you need. With this easy DIY origami bookmark design, Corinne Bradd shows you how to make a little hand-crafted extra to go with a gifted book this festive season. In fact, our corner bookmark is so good, it’s a present in its own right! Made from just one square of paper, these corner bookmarks are a wonderfully cheap and efficient way to make sure you never lose your page again. Simply tuck over the corner of the page, and voilà! Offering something more durable and a lot more fun than your traditional paper bookmark, our corner bookmark tutorial is brilliant and efficient in every way. Throughout the course of her corner bookmark tutorial, Corinne shows you to master this origami folding technique to achieve the best paper bookmark possible. Not only does she show you how some simple folds can transform a piece of paper, but she also recommends the best weight of paper to use for this craft and offers some ideas for decoration. Speaking of decoration, that’s the best bit of making your own corner bookmark! First of all, you can decide whether to design your bookmark to sit flush to the page, or whether to embellish it to pop over the corner of the book. Our corner bookmark tutorial also shows you how a few quick cuts to the edges of your project can turn a plain triangle into a festive Christmas tree, plus where you can add personalisation with lettering or a die-cut motif from your stash. What’s more, the simple corner pocket design of this bookmark can be adapted to use as a personalised gift card holder, and it is the perfect first origami project for a beginner.
