These scarecrow bookmarks are great for elementary school kids or kids aged 5yrs+. You need to be able to do a little basic origami as well as be confident in cutting some basic shapes.

How to make a Scarecrow Bookmark Corner – Step by Step
Begin by making a basic corner bookmark – we have an Origami Bookmark photo or video instructions here. Make it in the colour that you want your Scarecrow’s hat to be. I chose dark green!
Turning your origami bookmark into a Scarecrow
The hat:
Cut a strip of red paper approximately 0.5cm wide and long enough to go across your bookmark corner.
Glue into place. Trim the top of the hat and the sides of the hat as per the final Scarecrow Bookmark photos.
Make a little paper flower – by cutting out paper petals and a flower centre and glue ont your Scrowcrow’s Hat!
The Scare Crow’s Face
Use a tin can or similar to trace part of a circle – it doesn’t need to be a full circle, but a bit more than half.
Glue “under the hat” on to the green part “poking out”. Trim the sides of the green paper to fit the face.
Add the facial details with paper and pen.
Finally, cut some yellow strips of paper for the Scarecrow’s hair and glue UNDER the hat.
Finished!!!! Isn’t this Paper Scarecrow Corner Bookmark ADORABLE?! Love love love!
