Lighten up, it’s Christmas time!
This week we finally set up our Christmas Tree, and that inspired us to create these Christmas Tree Corner Bookmarks.
If you are planning to gift books this year, squeeze in these fun bookmarks. They will get your kids extra excited to craft them and use them with their new books.
These Christmas tree bookmarks can also be interactive party favors for any holiday parties you are throwing.
And I can guarantee that they will be a hit at your classroom Christmas parties too!
They are simple enough for kids of all ages. Though, I recommend skipping the final cutting part if you are working with small kids, as it can be a little hard for them.
Just leave the trees as they are, they will look just right.

Step-by-Step Folding Tutorial

- Take one of the corners and fold it towards the opposite corner to make a triangle.
- Turn the triangle over. Make sure that the top tip is facing away from you, and the tree is facing down.
- Take the right bottom corner and fold it towards the top of the triangle. Repeat this step for the left side.
- Unfold the bottom corners.
Fold the top layer towards the bottom to create a pocket for your bookmark.
- Fold both corners back up and tuck them inside the pocket you just created.
- Flatten your tree. Glue the stem behind it, and the star on top of it.
