Corner Bookmark Monkey Step By Step Instruction
Begin by making a basic Origami Bookmark using brown paper. We have Origami Bookmark Step by Step Instructions (including photos)!
Cutting out your Monkey bookmark’s embellishments
The Monkey needs a number of key features:
- ears in brown – cut a semi circle of brown
- the monkey muzzle – cut an oval in light brown
- eyes (optional) – draw your yes or cut out in white
- a banana (optional) – cut a yellow banana an add details in black
- and additional features added in black pen
Bringing your monkey corner bookmark “together”
As the video (below) shows – it is now a question of simply gluing on your monkey featurs.
Start with the ears.. then place the snout relatively “central”.
Then add the eyes and the banana!
Your Monkey Corner Bookmark is finished!!
Enjoy!
