Sandy contacted me about being a guest blogger and when I saw these Corner Bookmarks I knew I wanted to share them with you. She is a very talented girl. If you have a book lover on your Christmas list this will be a great present for them.

ALL the way from Singapore

Sandy Welcome to Its So Very Cheri

Hi, this is Sandy Ang from sunny, little Singapore. I’m a crafter who loves card-making, paper construction and creating altered objects. I love to share my projects and how-to tutorials. You can find more projects on my blog.

Corner Bookmark – Featuring a Kusudama Flower Dangle

My niece is always asking for origami projects, so I showed her how to make a Kusudama flower using a modular technique. And used the flower as a dangle for my corner bookmark.

Supplies – Paper, button, ribbon, white glueStep 1 : Cut five pieces of 2″ square paper

Step 2 : Fold each piece into a petal following this sequence

fold in half

bring flap down

fold flap up

squish-fold the flap open

turn the tip up

fold in half

repeat on other side

bring corners together

Step 3 : Glue the 5 petals together to form a Kusudama flower.

Step 4 : Push the ribbon through the back of the flower and tie a knot. Hid the knot with a button

Step 5 : Attach the other end of the ribbon to a 2.5” square paper with corners folded over

Step 6 : Decorate with some ribbon doily if you like (mine is from Basic Grey)

Here it is all finshed.

Hope you have lots of fun making these little bookmarks for yourself and as gifts.

Thank you for sharing with us this great project. Be sure to check out Sandy’s blog.
