Corner bookmark folds / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Ordinary square-cut paper, scissors and a ruler. No adhesive or cutting knife is needed.

Before making a batch

Confirm the square measures 150 mm on both sides.

Check that both tucked layers stay inside the pocket.

Test page turning on scrap paper; check for marking or excess pressure.

Starting square: 150 x 150 mm.

Folded pocket fit depends on the actual folds; test against the intended page.

No adhesive is required.

From file to finished page

  1. Cut the square and place the printed side down. Fold along one diagonal to make a triangle with its point away from you.
  2. Bring each bottom corner up to the top point, crease, and open those two folds again.
  3. Fold only the top layer of the upper point down to the midpoint of the long bottom edge. This makes the pocket mouth.
  4. Bring the bottom corners back up. Fold each loose upper point down and tuck it into the pocket behind the folded top layer.
  5. Flatten gently. Slip the pocket over a scrap-paper corner before trying it on a book.
Printing and use notes

Fold guides are a learning aid; not every printed diagonal is a cut.

Heavy or coated stock may not tuck cleanly.
