Hedgehog Bookmark Corner DIY – How To:
These Hedgehog Bookmark Corner really do lend themselves to video instructions – I hope you find them useful!!
Make a brown corner bookmark
As with all our corner bookmarks, start off with a basic origami bookmark corner made from brown paper! You can hop over for the step by step instructions or watch the video on auto play!
Then follow the photos step below to turn it into a cute HEDGEHOG Bookmark!
Step by step instructions for turning a corner bookmark into a hedgehog!
If you prefer to see the full how to video JUST for the hedgehog, do scroll down to the bottom of this page to watch the YouTube video.. alternatively, here are some step images to help you along!
As mentioned make your basic corner bookmark in your chosen hedgehog colour. I love that brown packing paper looks just the thing!
Snip off a corner from some cream paper – you want that right angle. And draw a little face. It actually looks a bit like the “quarter” of a polar bear face.
Cut it out and glue to the “closed” corner of hedgehog’s body!
Snip off two edges (see images) to shape the bookmark into more of a hedgehog rectangle. I like to snip one and then use that cut off piece to help guide me when cutting the other side, so it is nice and even.
Now cut out some “traingles” around the top half of the hedgehog’s body, to resemble the prickles.
Finally cut out some paper leaves (or draw some on white paper and colour in), then glue behind your hedgehogs hear for that finishing touch!
Ta-daaaaa. Wasn’t that easy? And oh so cute!
