Here’s a fun way to foster your kid’s love for reading while engaging their creativity. These fruit slice bookmarks will certainly find use among the little book lovers in your family. This paper craft requires:
Step 1: Fold a small square piece of paper in half diagonally. This creates two triangles.
Step 2: Follow that up by folding the top triangle of your folded piece in half. Fold the top corner of the top triangle in half, bringing it toward the bottom edge. This will create a pocket.
Step 3: Fold the triangle’s left corner, matching it with its top corner.
Step 4: Repeat this with the right corner.
Step 5: Next, fold in half your folded-up parts, placing them in the pocket created in Step 2.
Step 6: You’ll create an origami corner bookmark by similarly folding each side as pictured above.
Step 7: Print out your template and trace the patterns on your multicolored paper. Then, cut them out. For example, the watermelon would have black seeds (from black paper), pink paper for the center, and green for the rind. Attach the components of your watermelon to the white origami cutout. Lastly, read in style.
