How to Make an Envelope Corner Bookmark

- Leave to one side to dry
Variations
This simple corner bookmark can be adapted and varied in a number of ways. Here are some more ideas:
- Use a decorative hole punch to punch shapes along the edge of the corner bookmark
- Hang charms or a piece of ribbon from the corner of the bookmark

- Use colored envelopes
These simple bookmarks make great gifts.
