We do love simple origami for for kids, we have a bunch of tutorials on the website that are perfect for beginners. But we do love making these origami corner bookmarks the most.

We already made one sea dweller last year, a fierce looking shark corner bookmark, but with the summer approaching we though it was about time to add more (fish is still in the works).

So we have these fun looking octopus corner bookmarks to share with you today.

How to Make Octopus Corner Bookmarks

What you need:

• origami paper (orange, pink, purple or whatever else color you want your octopus to be)
• scissors
• glue
• marker

Optional: wiggle eye stickers

Or Follow These Step by Step Folding Instructions

Fold the origami paper into a triangle with the colored side on the outside.

Fold top of the triangle towards the bottom (one sheet of paper only). A white square should form.

Fold the right corner towards the middle.

Do the same with the left one.

Unfold both.

Fold the same corners again, this time folding them towards the top.

A square will form.

Lastly t+grab the same corners (now on top) and tuck them inside the pocket that has formed.

Time to make octopus corner bookmarks

Glue them inside the bookmark.

Draw eyes or use wiggle eyes stickers.
