8. Paper Corner Bookmark

A paper corner bookmark is a fun variation of the classic bookmark. It slips onto the corner of a book page and can be decorated like an animal, monster, flower, heart, or simple geometric design.

Start with a square piece of paper, fold it into a triangle, fold the corners upward, and tuck them in to create a pocket. Decorate the outside however you like.

This is one of the best easy paper crafts you can make in 5 minutes because it is both cute and useful.
