DIY Ladybug Corner Bookmarks

 

Materials for Ladybug Corner Bookmark

  • Red origami paper or red construction paper cut into a square (You can try out different sizes, but 6 x 6 inch, 7 x 7 inch and 8 x 8 inch seem to come out to a good size for a bookmark.)
  • Black construction paper
  • 2 Googly eyes
  • Black Sharpie
  • Scissors
  • Glue Stick

 

Directions for Ladybug Corner Bookmark

  1. Fold the origami paper in half to create a large triangle.
  2. Lay it with the fold facing down and the top point of the triangle at the top.  Fold the right hand corner up to create another triangle.
  3. Repeat with the left side.  You should have a diamond shape.
  4. Unfold it and turn the triangle upside down.  Fold the top piece of the bottom point upwards to the center to create a triangle.
