How to make a Halloween bookmark

All you need to these super cute origami bookmarks is some paper, scissors, glue and of course a big imagination! We’ve made a bat in this example but how about making a pumpkin or Frankenstein?

Check out our selection of art materials here.

  1. First of all cut a square out of your paper measuring 12.5X12.5cm

4. Unfold the folds that you have just made until you are left with a triangle again. Fold down the top layer only so that the top point touches the bottom edge.
