DIY: Origami Heart Bookmark

It’s been quite sometime that I haven’t posted DIY idea(s). My earlier posts have been about travel and photography. Now its time for a DIY. This pictorial guide will feature steps on how to make an easy origami heart bookmark.
Origami is an art of paper folding associated with the Japanese culture.
Origami heart bookmarks are easy and fun to make and suitable for beginner crafters and children.

Wondering how to make it? Below is the pictorial guide.
Please note: The paper piece should be square. My piece measures 10 cm x 10 cm.

As you finish all the steps, your origami heart bookmark is ready. However, I have glued it to a cardstock paper in order to make it more durable. I made some from magazine pages too.

Thank you for staying. Hope you liked it.

DIY: Paper Pens [Pictorial Guide]

Paper pens are something very easy to make. It was during one of the solid waste management workshops that I came across the idea of making pens out of magazine pages. All you need is a pen refill / cartridge, a magazine page, glue stick, white glue (I use Fevicol) and scissors. 

Below is the pictorial guide.

Your Paper Pen is ready!

Thank You for staying. Hope you will make one 🙂
