How to Make Your Turkey Corner Bookmark
This craft is perfect for preschool and elementary-aged children, creating a functional bookmark decoration.
Step 1: Print & Cut the Template
- Print the turkey corner bookmark template onto white cardstock paper
- Use thick cardstock paper, not regular printer paper which will be too flimsy
- Cut out the turkey folding piece along the outline
- Cut out all the colorful feather pieces
Step 2: Fold the Turkey Piece
- Fold along the dotted line to create the corner pocket shape
- Apply glue to the white triangle section
- Press the white triangle to the opposite brown triangle
Step 3: Attach Feathers to the Back
- Glue the feathers onto the brown section on the back of the turkey – I like to start with the feather right at the top of the triangle.
- Important: Only glue feathers to the brown area to avoid blocking the corner pocket
- Layer feathers to create a colorful fan effect
Step 4: Use Your Turkey Bookmark
- Slip the corner pocket onto the corner of a book page
- The turkey and feathers will peek out from the top
- The bookmark securely holds your place while reading
