How to Make an Origami Bookmark

1. Cut out template and add-ons

Choose your favorite template above, then print and cut it out. Start by placing the paper with the corner facing you and the design facing down. The solid colored triangle should be closest to the bottom corner.

2. Fold the bottom corner up to the center point of the square

Place your square on a table, one point facing towards you so it looks like a diamond. Bring the bottom point up to meet the top point. Crease in the middle to create a small triangle.

3. Fold upward again at the center, creating a second triangle

With the top of your triangle pointing up, bring the left point up to meet the top. Crease along the fold. Repeat on the right side to create a smaller diamond.

4. Bring the bottom two points up to meet the top

Flip your diamond over. Taking only the top layer of paper, bring the bottom point of the diamond up to meet the top. Crease, then unfold.

5. Fold the points into the pocket

Taking the same point, tuck it into the pocket created and crease at the edges. Use tape or glue to strengthen any loose edges on the back of your bookmark.

6. Glue or tape on decorative pieces

Attach the decorative pieces as shown in our previews. Have fun reading!

Now that you’re a pro at origami folding, try creating a bookmark using one of those fun designs! From your favorite furry friends to daring superheroes, these templates will get you excited to read and help protect your books from wear and tear.

About Lisa Jorgensen

I was hit by an intoxicated driver when I was walking on the sidewalk. I was also 6 months pregnant at the time. I learned a huge lesson about miracles and not taking life for granted. I believe in finding the good and making life blissful with family, food, and fun ideas. Every moment matters.
