Step 1
All you'll need is a pretty piece of square paper (told you this would be easy!). I usually use a 3 x 3 inch piece or 4 x 4 inch piece.
-
Step 2
Fold the piece of paper in half so it looks like a pyramid.
-
Step 3
Now, with the pyramid point on top, fold the left side up to the top.
-
Step 4
Same for the other side.
-
Step 5
Unfold your two flaps.
-
Step 6
In the middle of your masterpiece will be a perfect diamond. Take one layer of the top point and fold in down so the point reaches the end.
-
Step 7
Now, fold in the left side and tuck it into the flap.
-
Step 8
Same on the other side.
-
Step 9
Annnd Wa-la! There you have it. You're very own origami bookmark. This should only take about 30 seconds to make, so you'll have a ton of them in no time. I know the directions can be kind of confusing to follow, that's why I included photos of each step. I hope they are easy to follow! If you have any questions, please just message me and I'll try to clarify for you!

on 1/21/2009 I made this with a piece of my 3x3 memo paper here on my desk while I read your article. Simple! Good directions! I even decorated my paper first with the markers on my desk. This will be a great way for me to mark several places in reference books. 5 stars
