Panda Bear Bookmark Corner

| | |

We have had lots of requests for some Panda Bookmark Corners. So I decided to have a go at some. I think that these Pandas work great for anyone that adores the Panda Emoji… or for anyone trying to find a craft to go with the Kung Fu Panda movie too.. or simply for those among us that ADORE Pandas, just because.

We have a basic origami bookmark video you can watch.

How to make a Corner Bookmark Corner

Begin by making a classic Origami Bookmark with a white piece of paper. We like using paper roughly 15 x 15cm in size.. but any size will do.

First you will need to make a square out of your paper. Corner bookmarks need squares of paper, but here we show you how to create that perfect square!!

Creating a square from rectangular paper to make a bookmark corner
  • Take your A5 sheet of paper and fold over one corner to create a triangle.
  • Cut off the excess and rotate your triangle so the long edge is at the bottom and the right angle faces up. Make sure the top of the triangle is looking up and you have the long edge running perpendicular.
  • Fold the lower right corner up to meet the top right angled corner.
  • Repeat for the left side.
  • Fold these two back open.
  • Flip down ONE of the top sheets and crease.

  • Now fold the flaps you created back up and tuck INTO your bookmark.
  • Repeat for the other side

Now how to turn your Bookmark into a Panda

  • Cut out two black ears and stick them to the back.
  • Cut out two large panda eyes + two small ones in white, position on the top of your bookmark and glue down. You can now add the nose and both.
  • Finally cut a black strip for the Panda’s body and glue down.
  • And now it is time to cute 4 arms and legs. I cut rounded rectangles, glued them down and then trimmed to fit the shape of the panda origami bookmark.
  • Next I rounded of the corners, just to make the panada bookmark that little “cuter” with the softer edges.
  • FINISHED!!! Enjoy your cute panda bookmark!!!
