Give your reading pile a spooky makeover with this easy Halloween craft! Artist Rebecca Cahill Roots has created a gang of DIY origami corner bookmarks, from a friendly ghost to a cheeky black cat, all brought to life with Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pens. Watch the reel to see how they're made, then have a go yourself.
What you'll need
• Squares of white paper
• Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pens. Rebecca used N15 (Black), 126 (Light Olive), 603 (Periwinkle), 636 (Imperial Purple), 925 (Scarlet) and 977 (Saddle Brown), available as singles or in a limited edition Mystery Pack
• Scissors and a Tombow glue stick for details
How to make an origami corner bookmark
1. Fold your square in half diagonally to make a triangle.
2. Fold the bottom corners up to the top point, crease, then unfold.
3. Fold the top layer's point down to the bottom edge, then tuck the side corners into the pocket. That's your corner bookmark!
4. Draw your character on the front, adding hats, ears or wings cut from scrap paper.
5. Colour with the brush tip, then add faces and outlines with the fine tip.
Try a bat in 603 and 636, a pumpkin in 925 or a little green monster in 126. They're quick to make, perfect for a half-term kids' craft, and lovely to tuck inside a book as a Halloween gift.
If you make your own, share them with us @tombow_uk. Happy Halloween!
