These printable fox ones from <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/bywilma.com\/diy\/diy-printable-fox-corner-bookmark\/\">By Wilma<\/a> are especially darling. I&#8217;ve also seen versions of these where people transform them into sweet little monsters or animals by adding some eyes or teeth. Personally, I love keeping it simple and using a pretty piece of scrapbook paper.<\/p>\n<p>You can leave the bookmark as is, or if you&#8217;d like to trim off the additional flap, you can do that as well. I&#8217;ve found that trimming the flap off does keep it more sturdy and able to withstand more wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paper-crafted-corner-bookmark12.png\" alt=\"paper crafted corner bookmark12\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paper-crafted-corner-bookmark13.png\" alt=\"paper crafted corner bookmark13\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/paper-crafted-corner-bookmark14.png\" alt=\"paper crafted corner bookmark14\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>These also work great as page flags when you want to easily reference a certain page.
