Make Something Mondays: DIY Paper Bookmarks for Page Corners

As the first rays of Monday sunshine filter through your window, it’s the perfect time to indulge in a bit of creativity. Today, we’re diving into the delightful world of DIY paper bookmarks, specifically designed for your book corners. Not only are these handy little helpers perfect for keeping your place in a beloved novel, they also allow you to express your unique style.

Grab some colourful cardstock, patterned paper, or even recycled pages from old magazines. With a pair of scissors and a bit of imagination, you can transform these materials into charming corner bookmarks that add a pop of personality to your reading routine. Whether you opt for whimsical shapes like animals, flowers, or geometric designs, each bookmark can be tailored to match your mood or the genre of your latest literary adventure.

To create your bookmarks, simply cut a square (approximately 5x5 cm) from your chosen paper. Then, fold it diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner to create a crease. Unfold and fold the two adjacent corners into the centre to form a triangle. Finally, stick the triangle down, and voilà — you have a functional and stylish corner bookmark!

So, put on your favourite tunes, brew a cuppa, and let your creativity flourish this Make Something Monday. Your books will thank you for it!
