Corner Page Bookmark

This project was only about a dollar for me, because I had all of the supplies, except the book. So I saw this bookmark, but absolutely NO instructions. What? So I decided to make my own and share it with those of you who love books to! Enjoy!

Gather Supplies

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
What you'll need is a book with blank pages (I got mine at goodwill for $1), a ruler, a pencil, scissors, glue (or glue stick), paintbrush (if your not using a glue stick; use a cheap or crappy one), and pen or fine tip sharpie.

Blank Page

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Tear a blank page out of your book.

Make a Square

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Measure and cut out a 5x5 inch square (you can make it bigger or smaller depending on the size of your book pages).

Make Four Squares

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Use your pencil and ruler to split the square into four sections (mine were 2 1/2 inches).

Minus One

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Cut one square (any one you want) out.

And Then There Was Three

This is what it should look like.

Lines

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Split the alternate angles in half using a straight edge and a ruler.

More Cutting

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Cut the outside triangles (it should look like an arrow; like this).

Folding

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Fold the triangles over on the lines.

After Folding Both

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
It should look like this.

Glue

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Prepare your glue and a paintbrush.

Glueing

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
After folding and preparing your glue, glue the top triangle to the bottom triangle. DO NOT glue the bottom triangle to the base.

Drying

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
While the glue is drying, I like to put it in a book to flatten out.

Finishing Up

13, 4:14 PM.jpg
Write whatever you desire on it.(:

FINISHED!
