Tips for Making Origami Bookmarks for Kids
- When working with paper crafting, be sure to have clean, dry hands.
- If you want to be exact, use a ruler and pencil to make sure you get clean, straight lines and a perfect square. But honestly, it’s not necessary because you can fold the paper and use the guidelines.
- Take your time when folding these basic origami bookmarks. These make a great calm-down craft.
- You do not need a thicker paper like card stock. It could be hard to get the folds. If you have construction paper, however, that will work.

Fold the paper in half diagonally, forming a triangle.
Fold the front right bottom corner up so that it aligns with the top corner.
Fold both sides up. Fold the bottom left corner up to the same point to form a diamond.

Cut out carrot leaves out of green paper. You can also use yarn, twine, or ribbon to make the leaves.
Glue or tape the leaves to the inside of the bookmark’s pocket.
Draw eyes and a smiling mouth on the outside of the bookmark. I used two small circles for the eyes and added eyelashes.
To use the origami bookmark, tuck the corner of the page into the pocket.

Notes for Making Origami Bookmarks
- A crisp crease will help your bookmark stay together, even when using them for several of your favorite books.
- With practice, you can move on to make more complex origami projects, like a 3D paper crane or star for example.
- Making bookmarks may encourage reading for your child. By making the bookmarks themselves, the child feels a connection between the bookmark and the book they choose to use it in.
