How Do You Make an Origami Pig Bookmark Craft?

To get started making this paper corner bookmark, fold a piece of pink origami paper in half diagonally.

Lift up the point of the top half and fold it back to meet the top of the triangle.

You should see the bottom half of the folded paper underneath.

Don’t fold the top half back down.

Bring the right side of the triangle down to meet the point of the bottom half of paper.

At this point, both the left side and the right side should be folded over and down.

The paper should form a diamond shape.

When we folded the top half of the paper upward, we formed a little pocket.

Bring both ends you just folded down up and tuck them underneath that top half, folding them into the pocket.

Use scissors to cut a rounded edge on the bottom half of the folded paper.

Now assemble the template pieces you cut out earlier. Glue the inner ear pieces and the nostrils onto the ears and nose pieces.
