Are you tired of losing track of where you left off in your favorite books? Corner bookmarks are a fun and creative solution to ensure you never lose your page again. Plus, they’re an excellent way to add a personal touch to your reading experience. In this article, we will explore three ways to make a corner bookmark.

1. Origami Corner Bookmark

An origami corner bookmark is incredibly simple to make and requires minimal materials. All you need is a square piece of paper, scissors, and a little patience. Here’s how:

1. Begin by folding the paper diagonally in half, creating a triangle.
2. Take the bottom corner and fold it up to meet the top corner.
3. Fold the two remaining corners inwards, tucking them underneath the flap you previously created.
4. Customize your corners with doodles, stickers, or quotes that inspire you as you read.

2. Felt or Fabric Corner Bookmark

For those who prefer a more tactile approach, crafting a corner bookmark with felt or fabric is another excellent option. You’ll need felt or fabric squares, a pair of scissors, glue or fabric adhesive, and optionally some decorative elements like buttons or ribbons.

1. Cut two squares of felt or fabric that measure about 3×3 inches.
2. Fold each square diagonally in half to form a triangle.
3. Apply glue or fabric adhesive along one edge of one triangle and press it against the corresponding edge of the other triangle.
4. Allow the glue to dry completely before placing it on the corner of your book page.
5. Add any additional decorative elements if desired.

3. Create a Crocheted Corner Bookmark

For an even cozier feeling during your reading sessions, you can create an adorable crocheted corner bookmark using yarn and crochet techniques.

Materials needed:

– Yarn (in colors of your choice)

– Crochet hook (size to match your yarn)

– Scissors

– Tapestry needle

1. Begin by making a slipknot and chaining 7.
2. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook, and in each chain across.
3. Turn the work, chain 1, and single crochet into each stitch across.
4. Repeat step c to create your desired length for the bookmark “leg.”
5. Once you have reached your desired length, begin to decrease your work by skipping the first stitch and single crocheting into each remaining stitch.
6. Continue decreasing rows until you have a single stitch left, then fasten off and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.
