How to fold a corner bookmark step-by-step
1. Start by taking a square sheet of paper. Here we cut a square paper of size 10cm * 10cm.
2. Fold the paper diagonally so that opposite corners meet each other to form a triangle.
3. Fold the lower right corner upwards so as to meet the top corner.
4. Do the same with the lower-left corner.
5. Now unfold the folds we made in steps 3 and 4. And fold the top corner (fold only one paper sheet) downwards to meet the horizontal edge and make a crease.
6. Fold the left corner and insert into the crease we just made. Here the crease acts like a pocket.
7. This is what you get after inserting the left corner into the pocket.
8. Repeat the same with the right corner.
Thus the basic Origami corner bookmark is ready!
Now let’s move onto making it pretty.

1. Kawaii Ice Cream Corner Bookmark step-by-step instructions
1. Draw an ice cream on a piece of paper. Color it and cut the figure out. Make sure the figure you draw is about the width of the bookmark you made.
In the end, you will cut the protruding parts from the bookmark, but we shouldn’t cut too much. So make sure the figure you draw is wide enough.
2. Cut the ice cream cutout in half as shown in the picture.
3. Now, stick the upper portion of the ice cream on the top half of the corner bookmark.
4. And stick the other half of the ice cream on the bottom half of the bookmark. Make sure you open the bookmark and stick it inside.
5. This is the figure you get after sticking the top and bottom portions of ice cream.
6. Cut out the protruding portions from top and sides and make it look neat. Be careful not to cut too much.
7. Your cute kawaii bookmark is ready!
