[Origami] Triangle Bookmark
![[Origami] Triangle Bookmark](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PZF7b0RXJCM/sddefault.jpg)
Here’s a simple triangular bookmark you can make with just one sheet of origami paper.
Prepare a sheet of your favorite origami paper.
Fold the paper into a square twice.
Tuck the corners of the folded paper inside, and your triangular bookmark is complete.
You can tuck in just one side, or tuck everything in to form a neat triangle—both are recommended.
It’s a simple, highly functional bookmark that makes it easy to spot the page you’re reading, so give it a try.
It could also be fun to make them together with friends or family!
Origami and Sleek Ribbon Bookmark
Here’s how to make an original bookmark with origami and a neat ribbon.
Prepare origami paper and a ribbon to get started.
Fold the origami paper in half, then open it up and make creases horizontally and vertically as well.
As you add creases to divide it into thirds, shape it into a bookmark.
For the ribbon, tie a simple knot first, then thread it through the bookmark hole—this is the key to getting a clean, tidy knot.
Finish by applying fray-preventer to the ribbon’s cut ends.
Using patterned origami paper is recommended.
Leather magnetic bookmark
Introducing a smart leather magnetic bookmark with a sophisticated, grown-up vibe.
While imagining how it will clip onto a book page, attach two magnets to the leather.
Glue the leather together so that the magnets are sandwiched inside.
Then stitch the leather with thread.
Once the glue has dried, fold it in half, sand the edges all around, and you’re done.
It grips firmly, so you won’t have to worry about the bookmark slipping out.
Give this practical and stylish leather magnetic bookmark a try!
fabric bookmark
Let’s make a book-friendly fabric bookmark by sewing together fabric scraps.
Stitch the scraps together, sew a ribbon at the top, and shape it into a bookmark.
Turn the fabric right side out through the opening and neaten the overall shape.
Topstitch around the edges, trim any loose threads, press with an iron to remove wrinkles, and you’re done.
Try making a cute bookmark by piecing together leftover fabrics you’ve used.
The more you use it, the more you’ll grow attached to this fabric bookmark—give it a try!
[Crochet] Flower Bookmark
![[Crochet] Flower Bookmark](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ePfPKQ6nX4o/sddefault.jpg)
We’re introducing a crochet flower bookmark that captures the warm feel unique to hand-knitting.
Gather yarn, a crochet hook, a tapestry needle, beads, scissors, and a threader to get started.
Use the crochet hook and yarn to chain stitch and form the stem and leaves.
Next, make the focal flower.
The key is to crochet the flower carefully to create a three-dimensional look.
Since this will be a bookmark, it’s best to choose yarn that isn’t too thick.
Adding beads to the center of the flower with glue will make it even cuter.
Give it a try!

Here’s an introduction to a bookmark with a visible ribbon that peeks out from your book.
It’s a ribbon bookmark recommended for those who love cute things.
Cut a piece of construction paper into a long, narrow strip and fold it in half.
Leaving the folded end as the tip where the ribbon will be attached, glue the strip together.
Trim the corners at the ribbon end, attach the ribbon, and you’re done.
When making the ribbon, the key is to cut it a bit long.
Wrap the ribbon around your fingers to form it.
Many bookmarks only peek out slightly as a marker, but having the ribbon visible makes it even cuter.
