Origami: How to fold a Bookmark-2

Though there have been less people

who read paper books because of the digital books these days,

I often see people who love the paper book’s weight and smell

and also people who are reading them in places like on the train.♥

Despite that I really don’t read books since I’m not good at letters,

I sometimes leave my bookmark at home. Lol

So, this time, I searched for how to fold a bookmark so

that you can fold it easily even when you leave it at home like that. ♪

(1) Bookmark (Arrow)

１　Fold it in half to make it rectangular and cut it with scissors.

２　Fold it in half and make a crease.

３　Open it up; make two more creases lightly so that the half side

can be separated into four equal parts.

Do a mountain fold at 3/4 part and a valley fold at half part,

like the picture below (like a staircase).

４　Fold both corners down.

５　Open the triangle once and fold it toward the middle, like the picture below.

６　Fold and make creases of the square part on the top,

such as two diagonal lines and one half line, like the picture below.

７　Fold the square inside using all the creases, like the picture below.

８　Flip it over, and it’s done!

This bookmark is so easy to make. ♥

You can use it as a memo pad as well as a regular bookmark.

Now, you will be able to enjoy reading books with this.

(2) Bookmark (Heart)

１　Fold it in half to make a rectangle and cut it with scissors.

２　Fold it in half.

３　Fold it in half again.

４　Put it back and fold one side up along the crease that you made in No.3.

Fold the same way for the other side too.

５　Turn it over, fold it in half (mountain fold) and make a crease.

６　Turn it over again, and fold four corners to make triangles,

like the picture below.

７　Flip it over, and it’s done!

This is a cute heart-shaped bookmark.

You can use colorful origami paper with various patterns too,

making this one cute. ♥

You can use it as a memo pad since you can write something on it too.

(3) Bookmark (Triangle)

１　Fold it in half.

２　Fold it in half again to make a square.

３　Fold it in half to make a triangle and make a crease.

４　Fold it between the third and the fourth layers from the top,

like the picture below.  It’s done!  It was so quick, wasn’t it!

This is a triangle-shaped bookmark which is so easy to make

and you can make with only four procedures.♪

Maybe you should use more individual origami paper since it’s so easy to make.

You can make a fashionable atmosphere to put it between the pages

in your unread book.
