On VanGami the template appears over your sheet through your phone camera — no printer needed. Trace it, cut, fold and glue. Below are all the steps in text.

What you’ll need

• 2 Letter sheets — office paper, 80 gsm (20 lb)
• Markers
• Pencil — and eraser
• Scissors — small
• Glue stick — or PVA glue
• Book or notebook — to try on the bookmark
• Glass — phone stand

Steps

Sheet 1

1. Sheet 1: light blue sheet. A light blue sheet should be under the camera now. The template has 2 sheets. The sheet is white — the pieces get their color at the coloring step.
2. Bookmark. Trace the square with two triangles, one on top and one on the right. You’ll cut along this line.
3. Bookmark: folds. The two dashed lines are the borders between the triangles and the square. Write the numbers: 1 for the top one, 2 for the right one.
4. Light blue. The paper is white. Color the triangle by line 2 light blue: that’s the face of the bookmark. The square is up to you: it only shows from the back of the page. The triangle by line 1 hides inside, so don’t color it.

Sheet 2

5. Sheet 2: white sheet. Remove the previous sheet and put the white sheet in its place, lined up edge to edge. Don’t move the phone — the scale stays the same.
6. Daisy. Trace the ten petals in one line.
7. Daisy: center. The circle in the middle is the spot for the center: draw it lightly.
8. Center. Trace the small circle: the center of the daisy.
9. Leaves. Trace the two little leaves.
10. Leaves: veins. One vein down the middle of each.
11. Yellow. Color the areas that match this color. Move the marker in one direction — you’ll get fewer streaks.
12. Green. Now the areas that match this color.

Cut

13. Cut out: bookmark. Cut out the bookmark along the solid line. Don’t cut the dashed lines — those are folds. In the corner between the triangles, cut all the way in to the point.
14. Cut out: daisy. Cut out the daisy along the solid line: make two short cuts that meet at each notch between the petals.
15. Cut out: center. Cut out the center along the circle line.
16. Cut out: leaf — 2 pcs. Cut out both leaves along the solid line.

Bookmark

17. First triangle. Flip the bookmark over so the lines face down. Fold the top triangle onto the square — along the line between them — and crease the fold with your fingernail.
18. Second one on the glue. Put glue on the folded triangle and lay the second triangle on top of it. Press down: now there’s a pocket between the square and the triangles.

Daisy

19. Center. Glue the yellow center onto the circle in the middle of the daisy. Lift the petals a little with your fingers — the flower will pop out in 3D.
20. Leaves. Put glue on the bases of the leaves and stick them onto the bookmark’s triangle: bases in the middle, tips pointing apart toward the long edge.
21. Daisy onto the bookmark. Put glue in the middle of the back of the daisy and press it on top of the leaf bases.

Try on

22. Slide it onto the page. Open a book or notebook and slip the bookmark over the corner of a page: the page goes into the pocket and the daisy stays on top.

Done. Your bookmark is done. Slip it over the corner of a page — the pocket holds tight and doesn’t crumple the page.
