How To Make A Unicorn Bookmark
I’ll now share the tutorial so you can make this fun origami unicorn corner bookmark
Step One: DIY Unicorn Bookmark
Print and cut out the patterns from the template. Trace and cut out the big square shape on the paper selected for the bookmark.
Step Two: DIY Unicorn Bookmark
Place the square paper on a flat surface. Fold the paper into half diagonally.
Step Three: DIY Unicorn Bookmark
Hold any one corners of the open ends and fold it downwards, matching the end of the corner with the border line of the straight side.
Notice that there are now 3 triangles along the bottom side of the folded paper.

Grab any one triangles from the side and fold it upwards, matching its open end corner with the corner on the top side (of the folded paper).
Step Five: DIY Unicorn Bookmark
Similarly fold the triangle on the other side.
Step Six: DIY Unicorn Bookmark
Hold any one of the triangular parts and fold it into half. Tuck the open side of the half fold into the triangular pocket.

Also prepare the ear parts and the horn from thick craft papers or card stock papers.

What a cute idea! I hate to admit it, but when I was a teen, I turned down the corner of my book to save my place. Now I mostly read in a Kindle, so I don’t have to worry about it. (When I read a real book, I use a bookmark.)
ha ha! I used to do that too!
What acute idea!! My 4 yr old grest niece is s unicorn tragic, she loves them to bits.. I’m going to make a few of these in different colours. I know she’ll be over the moon when i give them to her.
Thank you again for a sweet & easy tutorial.
Kindest regards
