You may have noticed that we have a “thing” about DIY Corner Bookmarks recently.. since making the leap to YouTube almost 2 years ago now, the kids watching the channel have been challenging me to more and more and more Corner Bookmark designs. These handmade bookmarks are based on a very Easy Origami Bookmark, but then, I do cut and embellish. Technically NOT making it an Origami Bookmark. We LOVE these cute corner bookmarks and are totally hooked on making with the kids! It is so fun to rise to the crafty challenge and come up with new designs for my viewers.
These handmade bookmarks make great little gift ideas and I have had feedback from many readers that they are great fundraiser at school fairs! Or maybe have a go at making some of these bookmark designs for World Bookday? Enjoy!!
