With just a square piece of paper and a few folds, you'll create a lovely bookmark to keep your place in style. Let's begin!

  • Take the top 2 corners and fold them into the center like a paper airplane.

STEP 4: Folding Inwards

  • Flip it back again to the side that we started on
  • Fold the left and right sides into the center of the paper creating an upside down triangle above the middle of the paper
  • Now fold the bottom 2 corners like you would fold a paper airplane
