Instructions 

  • Get your square origami paper.
  • Fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle.
  • Fold the right corner to meet the bottom corner.
  • Do the same with the left side.
  • Unfold the corners so that you are looking at a triangle.
  • Fold the top flap of the triangle point upward so that it meets the top edge. Don’t unfold it.
  • Fold the right corner in to meet the top edge.
  • Do the same on the other side.
  • Unfold both the right and left corners.
  • Use the right crease that you made earlier to fold the right corner down.
  • Tuck it underneath the flap.
  • The right side should now be folded and tucked.
  • Do the same thing with the left corner. This is the base of your bookmark.
  • Add eyes to your bookmark (draw them out or use a hole punch like I did).
  • Glue your eyes and add the eye details with marker.
  • Cut out the teeth in whatever pattern you would like from white paper.
  • Glue the teeth to the face.
  • Here are some ideas for teeth.
  • Draw a tongue on red paper and cut it out.
  • Glue your tongue underneath the teeth.
  • You could make either a mouth or tongue out of red paper (or patterned paper).
  • Cut out another circle and then cut it in half to make eyelids. Glue these above your character’s eyes.

Notes

* We need thin paper so that it is easy to fold. Origami paper or copy/printer paper would work best. You can choose any color you want!
** This will be for the tongue or stiffening so thicker paper would work best, but it is not essential.
*** These are for the eyes and teeth.
**** You could also use any craft glue.
