Our tastes and reasons may vary, but – in a way – there are two types of readers: people who use bookmarks and people who dog-ear books. The feud between bookmarkers and dog ears is centuries old, and the arguments can get heated. As a bookmark user, I absolutely cannot understand why people dog-ear their books.
But then I have never been one to spend even a few coins on bookmarks. Why would you buy a bookmark when you can customize one for yourself? Aren’t these corner bookmarks cute? You can make one in less than five minutes. :)

How to make customized corner bookmarks
1. Cut the paper

Cut out the part shaded with a pencil.
2. Fold the paper
Fold according to the pictures.
3. Apply the glue
Apply glue and fold the other part too.
4. Draw your favorite cartoon character
Let the inner artist in your work draw your favorite character, adding details to beautify your work. If possible add ears which could also serve as your tab when opening your book.
These can be made in all shapes, sizes, and colors and are perfect art projects or gifts!
