  Step 1

  Cut out the body template piece - the square-with-two-triangles-attached shape.

• 

  Step 2

  Trace this template onto your pretty piece of card stock (or onto the plain piece of card stock that you intend to decorate), and cut the shape out.

• 

  Step 3

  Using your ruler and the tip of your mechanical pencil with no lead showing, score a line (drag the tip firmly along the paper so it makes an indent) along the edges of the square that connect to the two triangles.

• 

  Step 4

  If you want, cut a square of pretty paper slightly smaller than the one you used for your template and glue it onto the square portion of your shape.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold one triangle inwards along the line you scored, so it covers the upper half of the square.

• 

  Step 6

  Apply glue to the underside (the side still facing up) of the second triangle...

• 

  Step 7

  ... then fold that glue covered triangle over onto the first triangle.

• 

  Step 8

  As in step 4, if you’ve used plain card stock and want to glue fancy paper on top of it, cut a triangle out of your fancy paper that’s slightly smaller than the folded-over triangles of the bookmark. Glue the smaller triangle on top of the larger, folded-over ones.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut out the eye and teeth pieces from card stock and glue them in place (the teeth get glued behind the long edge of the folded-and-glued triangles).

  Try making up other monstrous features, like horns or wings or long forked tongues. Cut out different features to make a bookmark that looks like a cat, or an elephant, or an iguana.

• 

  Step 10

  Use by slipping over the corner of the page you wish to mark, like a pocket.
