Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start with a square piece of paper. If you have rectangular paper, fold one corner down to create a triangle and cut off the excess to make a square.
Fold the square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Make sure the corners align and crease the fold well.
With the triangle's longest side at the bottom, fold the right corner up to meet the top point of the triangle. Crease the fold.
Repeat step 3 with the left corner, folding it up to meet the top point. You should now have a diamond shape with two flaps at the top.
Take the top layer of the right flap and fold it down into the pocket created by the left flap. This secures the bookmark shape.
Turn the bookmark over and repeat step 5 with the other flap, tucking it into the pocket on the other side.
Now, decorate your corner bookmark! Use crayons, colored pencils, or markers to draw fall-themed designs like leaves, pumpkins, acorns, or simple patterns.
