How to Make a Heart Bookmark

Origami bookmarks are not only functional but also charming accessories for your favorite books. In this step-by-step guide, I'll show you how to fold a delightful heart-shaped bookmark. With just a square piece of paper and a few folds, you'll create a lovely bookmark to keep your place in style. Let's begin!

• Square paper (you can use origami paper, colored paper, or cut a square from any paper)
• Scissors (optional, if your paper is not already square)

• Fold the paper in half
• Unfold and do the same but in the other direction

• Lay the paper flat an unfolded
• Fold the bottom edge to the middle of the paper which is visible from our previous folds

• Flip the paper over on its back
• Take the top 2 corners and fold them into the center like a paper airplane.

• Flip it back again to the side that we started on
• Fold the left and right sides into the center of the paper creating an upside down triangle above the middle of the paper
• Now fold the bottom 2 corners like you would fold a paper airplane

• Bring the bottom point and fold it to the top point, leaving the bottom most layer unfolded.
• Crease and fold the middle layers of paper to create 2 small sideways triangles

• Fold the bottom corners in to create 2 points
• Fold those points in to complete the "rounded" part of the top of a heart

Now you are complete with this heart shaped bookmark and it is ready to be used.
