Origami Corner Bookmark Tutorial
Are you ready for another fun and exciting craft project? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful and functional origami corner bookmark using the Card Making Magic's Warm Florals paper pack. The best part? No special dies or tools are needed—just the kit and your crafting spirit.
Materials You'll Need:
Card Making Magic Warm Florals paper pack
Bone folder (optional)
Glue
Card Making Magic A5 Washi Tape (optional)
Ribbon
Embellishments (e.g., paper flowers)
Thinking of You sentiment (or your choice of sentiment)
Step 1: Paper Selection
Begin by selecting your favourite sheet from the Warm Florals paper pack. You can choose between the foil or plain sides for your bookmark. For this tutorial, we're opting for the foiled side.
Step 2: Folding the Base
Take your chosen sheet and fold it diagonally from one corner to the other. Using a bone folder can help you create a crisp crease.
Step 3: Creating the Envelope Shape
Fold each corner down to meet at the centre of the paper. Make sure to create neat creases, and if needed, use your bone folder to ensure sharp folds.
Step 4: Tucking and Folding
Once you've folded the corners, open the paper and fold each corner inwards. Tuck them into the provided flaps. Your bone folder can help keep the creases precise.
Step 5: Lining the Interior
Since the paper is single-sided, you may want to line it for a clean finish. Insert another piece of cardstock into the envelope. This also gives your bookmark more durability.
Step 6: Adding Decorative Washi Tape
This step is optional, but if you wish to embellish your bookmark further, you can use washi tape to decorate the base of the card. This adds an extra touch of style.
Step 7: Ribbon and Embellishments
Enhance your creation by adding ribbon and decorative embellishments, such as paper flowers. Get creative with the placement, and perhaps tuck the ribbon under the embellishment.
Step 8: Final Assembly
Your bookmark is now complete and ready to keep your place neatly in your favourite book!
And there you have it—a charming and easy-to-make origami corner bookmark. This project doesn't require any special dies or tools; all you need is the Warm Florals paper kit. It's perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift for fellow bookworms.
