Do your kids have a summer bucket list?
If so, hopefully, they included a little bit of reading.
But if they didn’t, you can encourage them to open up some books by making these cute watermelon bookmarks.
I promise that your little ones will enjoy making them and would want to use them ASAP!
They are also a fantastic summer craft that will keep them busy for a while and can be used on summer camps as well.
The best part is that I designed a printable template to make it even easier for busy moms and teachers.
You can get it at the end of this post and print as many copies as you need.
Then, just follow our step-by-step instructions to fold them, or watch the video tutorial that shows you every detail of the process.
Keep in mind that there are two versions of these fruit bookmarks:
- Just the watermelon
- A kawaii version of the watermelon
They are both included with your download (along with some other cute fruits).
You just have to pick your favorite!

Materials
To make these bookmarks, you will only need:
- Watermelon Bookmark Templates (Get them here or at the end of this post)
- White paper
- Printer
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Print your preferred template on regular white paper and cut out the square.
- Fold your square in half diagonally, as shown below.
- Flip over your triangle, making sure the watermelon illustration is facing down.
- Fold the right corner of the triangle up, matching it with the top corner.
Repeat with the left side.
- Open up your bookmark. (Unfold step 4)
- Bring the top corner of the top layer towards the bottom edge of the triangle. This will create a pocket between the two layers of the fold.
- Insert the left and right corners into the pocket.
- Flip your bookmark over to see the watermelon and cut out the excess white paper.
