How to Make DIY Origami Unicorn Corner Bookmarks
Print and cut out the patterns from the unicorn corner bookmark template. Trace and cut out the big square shape on your choice of paper selected to make the bookmark.
Place the square paper on a clean and flat work surface.
Fold the paper into half diagonally to create a triangle shape. Keep it so the point is at the top with the flat side at the bottom.
Hold the corners and fold the top piece of paper down, touching the tip to the flat side, matching the end of the corner with the border line on the straight side. Note that there are now 3 points along the bottom side of the folded paper.
Grab the right corner first and fold it up from the side, matching its corner with the corner on the top.
Fold the triangle on the other side in the same way.
Choosing either of the two pieces you just folded up and take them and fold it into half, tucking the open side of the half fold into the triangular pocket.
Repeat the fold and tuck on the other side.
Select desired colored craft papers for the decoration. Trace the patterns onto the colored papers and cut them out.
Assemble the flowers by gluing together the flower cut-outs in layers.
Prepare and assemble the ears and the horn from thick craft papers or cardstock.
Glue the inner ear pieces on the outer ear cut-outs.
Once the flowers and ears are all glued together, grab all your papers with your square folded shape to finish creating the unicorn corner bookmark!
Attach the ears and the unicorn’s horn along the back side of the folded paper.
Attach the flowers and leaves right below the ears and the horn to create a flower crown. Using a black marker pen, draw the eyes of the unicorn onto the bookmark.
Once everything is glued and the face is drawn on, you are done! Yay! Place on the corner of any page in your book to mark your place and enjoy!
