Origami Heart Bookmark Step by Step
1 Way
Prepare a piece of red or pink paper in the shape of a square. Dimensions — at your own discretion. For books, bookmarks are optimal when the sides of the paper are not less than 10:10 cm and not more than 20:20 cm.
Fold the square into a triangle to mark the first fold.
Unfold and fold again into a triangle, connecting the other two corners to make a second cross fold.
Place the square in front of you with the corner up and center the right corner.
Then the left.
Fold up the bottom corner.
Now straighten the side corners, and press the bottom one to the center as well.
Fold the part of the paper up on the right side, note that the corner of the fold at the bottom should be in the center of the bottom of the paper.
Fold the left side up so that it is symmetrical to the right.
Now we need to redirect the right corner down. The photo shows the gradual redirection of the corner.
Straighten it out first.
And then fold the resulting corner to the bottom corner.
Do the same on the right side. In the photo, the corners are a little puffy, but if you press them, they will both be in full contact with the bottom corner.
Fold both corners up.
Lift the folded corner area up.
Flip over to the other side.
Lower the upper long corner down.
Flip over to the other side again.
Bend the top sharp corners back to round the heart.
Everything, the bookmark is ready, it can be placed between the pages of the book: top, side and even bottom.
