Little ghost corner bookmarks

STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING

Let’s make something lovely.

1. 01

   Cut a 6-inch square. Fold it diagonally into a triangle and lay it with the long folded edge at the bottom and the point facing up.

2. 02

   Fold the left and right bottom corners up to the top point. Crease, then unfold those two corners.

3. 03

   Fold only the front layer of the top point down to the middle of the bottom edge. This makes the opening of a pocket.

4. 04

   Bring each bottom corner back up, then tuck its upper tip down inside the pocket. Flatten the folds gently.

5. 05

   Draw two eyes and a tiny mouth on the front. Keep ink away from the inside surface that will touch book pages; let it dry.

6. 06

   Slide the pocket over a page corner. Test with scrap paper first; loosen tight folds rather than forcing it over a book.

Make it personal

Draw a different friendly expression for each reader.
