Let’s get started…

1.   We have chosen the Brown Paper sheet to make a hedgehog corner bookmark

2.   Take the sheet of paper and fold it in half and glue together – we used a glue stick

3.   Fold the piece of paper diagonally, once folded carefully trim off remaining rectangle with scissors so you are left with a square just like in the picture below

4.   Fold right hand corner point up and into the middle.  Repeat this on left hand corner so it looks like the picture below

5.   Again you should have a square just like ours above

6.   Now…open out the corners you just folded and taking only the top layer from middle fold down to meet the bottom edge.

7.   Fold right hand piece in and tuck it over the existing fold, repeat with other side …  picture’s below to help you

8.   To finish your hedgehog take some of the left over paper and carefully cut with scissors a zig zag strip to make the hedgehog spikes – glue under the top flap

9.   We are now ready to stick on a couple of wiggly eyes and to make a nose with the corner off an off-cut of Black paper

10. You have now created a super cute hedgehog that is ready to be used for all the little book lovers out there … happy reading!
