Corner Bookmark Tutorial
Card stock 4x4"for base of bookmark
Card stock or printed paper of choice 2&3/4"x2&3/4"
Card stock or stamping paper for embellishment stamping
Printed/designer paper of choice. For embelishment
Ribbon or your choice of embelishment
Pop dots or foam tape (optional)
Adhesive
Border punch or die cut edge of choice (optional)

1. Mark card stock base at 2inches on 3 sides. Score between marks to make a V fold.
2. Cut 2 3/4" cs diagonally to make two triangles. One triangle will be adhered to back of V fold flaps to make pocket for pages to slide into.
3. Embellish as desired.
4. If you are adding ribbon, you may want to add a strip of paper to the back of bookmark to cover ribbon so it doesn't get caught in pages of book.

Tips: for the ease of the books, you want to keep these as thin as possible so you don't damage any books by having thick bookmarks stuck between them adding stress to the spine.
