How To Make An Origami Diamond Corner Bookmark.
1. Take a square of origami paper and fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle shape.
2. Fold the bottom left corner of the triangle upward so that the point meets the top of the triangle.
3. Do the same with the bottom left corner to make a diamond shape.
4, Next, open both folded corners back down.
5. Take only the top layer of the triangle and fold it down to meet the bottom of the triangle.
6. Fold the remaining top layer down to meet the top of the previous fold.
7. Take the right corner and fold it upward, tucking it into the pocket you just created.
8. Do the same with the left corner.
This will make the pocket that will slip over the page.
9. Make sure both sides are tucked in and press them down lightly so the folds stay in place.
10. Flip it over to reveal the diamond corner bookmark.
11. Take a black marker and carefully draw an outline around the folded shape using a ruler.
12. Next, draw on the markings to make a diamond structure.
13. Slide the pocket of the bookmark over the corner of your page.
The diamond should sit on the front of the page, marking exactly where you left off.
