Corner Bookmark

Create a bookmark to slip over the corner of your book to mark your spot.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Mark the center of three sides of the 4" cardstock square.

   

2. Mark the center of two more sides of the square.

   

3. Step 2

   Place your cardstock square on your scoring tool so two of the marked spots are aligned in one groove.

   

4. Step 3

   Score between the markings.

   

5. Line up the other two markings and create another diagonal score line.

   

6. Step 4

   Prefold at both score lines.

   

7. Step 5 (Optional)

   Add a decorative border to the unscored side with either Borderabilities™, other dies or punches.

   

8. Step 6

   Line up the 2 3/4" cardstock square diagonally in your paper cutter.

   

9. Cut the square in half. You will need both triangles.

   

10. Step 7

    Use one of the triangles on the front of the bookmark and decorate.

    

11. Step 8

    Turn the bookmark over, fold your corners back in and apply Scor-Tape™ over them.

    

12. Adhere your second triangle over the flaps. This will keep your bookmark closed.

    

13. Step 9 (Optional)

    If you used ribbon to tie around your bookmark you might want to cover it up with more cardstock or patterned paper. Otherwise your ribbon might get snagged between the bookmark and the book pages.

    

14. Step 10

    Your corner bookmark is finished.

Variations

Different size:
You can make your corner bookmark smaller or bigger. Just measure the angled side and cut your second square that size before cutting it in half.
