Various master classes with recommendations on how to bookmark books from paper materials

There is no point in praising the qualities of such a material as paper, because everyone has worked with it and knows its capabilities. So you shouldn't miss them. A paper bookmark is beautiful, fast, albeit not as durable as a textile one. But you can often change its design, giving yourself positive emotions.

Easy origami version: a heart in a book

If you want a bulky bookmark, then you should take it into service origami technique... Not only plain colored paper is perfect, but also packaging and craft paper. The easiest and most affordable option is to take a colored sticker, it is a ready-made square shape and the ideal size. The master class is very easy, so you may not notice how much more products will turn out than you need.

Illustration	Action Description
	Take a bright sticker or any other small square, bend it diagonally.
	Place the folded triangle with the corner down. Now bend the right corner to the bottom center.
	We repeat the action with the left corner.
	The figure must be turned with the other side to you, with an angle with folds up. We turn the corner towards ourselves.
	It turns out a funny rhombus with ears sticking up. It is these ears that we will bend, each downward, but not entirely, but only half.
	Now we tuck the ears bent down into the craft. It remains to form the heart itself. To do this, we begin to bend the edges in the right directions.
	We bend three corners in succession on each side.
	The heart opens at the bottom, so it is convenient to put it on the desired page and no longer flip through the book chaotically.

Pigtail bookmark

We prepare 4 strips of paper 1 cm wide each, the length can be arbitrary. It all depends on what book you want to make the product for. The stripes should be the colors you would like to see, but contrasting shades look more interesting. The author of the master class uses pieces of double-sided tape instead of glue, but here it is more convenient for someone.

Illustration	Action Description
	The middle version is the easiest to perform, let's try to make the same beauty.
	First, take three stripes, as in the photo. The tips of two of them need to be glued to the tip of a single strip.
	Take the fourth strip and glue it over the first two, but in the other direction.
	The task is simple: we weave a braid of four braids, folding the loops of the braids in place of the folds. At the end of the work, the ends are glued. You can hang a bead, eyelet, ribbon to the bookmark.

Little animals

Another adorable way to assemble a paper bookmark is represented by cute animals or funny monsters. Everyone chooses the design that he likes.

Funny animals will cheer up both adults and children

Let's see how such tabs are made.

Illustration	Action Description
	Take a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally. We unfold and lay out the sheet on a different diagonal. Turn the product upside down.
	We turn both corners to the center and iron the folds.
	We straighten the product back into a triangle and bend one of the lower corners up.
	We spread the product and bend the corner in the same way.
	We return the figure to its original position and first bend the right corner downwards, then raise it to the top point.
	We need to get a square edge along the resulting fold lines. We do the same with the second corner.
	You need to unfold the square edge and tuck it inside the shape. If everything has been done correctly before, the form itself will tell you what to do. In the folds, everything literally turns itself.
	This is the basis. You can decorate it as you like. For example, glue the ears and draw a hare's face. Perhaps it will be a toothy monster, or any other animal. These are the nuances of the decor.
