Origami Shark Bookmark DIY

You can celebrate Shark Week and National Book Lovers day all at once by making this cute Origami Shark Bookmark! Swipe to see folding instructions!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You'll need:⁠⠀ Origami Paper (the 6-inch x 6-inch size)⁠⠀ White Cardstock⁠⠀ Scissors⁠⠀ Craft Glue (the clear drying kind)⁠⠀ Googly Eyes⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Instructions: ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Choose the color of the shark you want to make⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Turn your square origami paper diagonally and fold over so each corner is touching each other. Forming a large triangle (see box 2).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Take the two pointed sizes and fold them up to form another smaller triangle (see box 3).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Open up the two sides you just folded and take the top piece of paper and fold it down until it touches the point at the bottom. (see box 4)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Take the two sides and fold them into the pocket you created in step 4. (see box 5)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Turn the entire paper upside down and you will have your basic shape finished.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It’s time to decorate! First, start by cutting out teeth using your scissors and white cardstock. Then cut out a triangle for the mouth using another sheet of origami paper. I used a light pink.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Glue the teeth onto the inside of your face. This is also the time to glue on your googly eyes and mouth piece.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ All that is left to do is cut out a few triangles for the fins. Glue these on and you are done with your Origami Shark Bookmark!⁠⠀
