Angry Birds Origami Bookmarks! - Jenni

I found this idea at ‘Crafty Soccer Mom’ and loved it!

My 4yo boy loves Angry Birds so why not add a bit of extra fun to his story time.

These are so easy to make, fun for the kids to do and would also make a great little gift for school friends!

All you need is:

A few sheets of A4 cardboard (red, black, yellow & orange)

Some googley eyes

Scissors &

Craft Glue

First, fold the top right corner of the card over towards the centre of the card to create a perfect square (when you fold an A4 sheet like this, your square size will be 47cm x 47cm (18.5 inches x 18.5 inches).

Cut off the bottom of the card (the rectangle piece) to create your ‘perfect square’.

Fold this in half to create a triangle (as above).

Now take the right corner and fold it up to the center point of the triangle..and the left corner and fold it up so that now you have a diamond.

Unfold the last two steps..now take the top part of the triangle and fold down to the center…leaving the back side alone.

Now take the right side and fold it up behind the front triangle piece. This sounds confusing, but have a look at the next photo to make it easier.

See how it’s tucked behind?

Now do the same for the left side. Now that both sides are tucked in , you are all finished!

Now to turn our basic book mark into an Angry Bird!

Fold up the bottom piece of the card to the middle (as above).

Then cut a small triangle from the orange card for the beak & two small rectangle shapes from the black card for the ‘Angry’ eyebrows.

Stick the beak over the flap, then glue down your eyebrows, then add the googley eyes!

Don’t they look so cute!
