Fabric bookmark corners

Still using scraps and these took me down memory lane. My mum once showed me how to fold paper to make a corner bookmark. I really do not like books that have had their corners turned down or creased so bookmarks are needed. Saying that I use a variety of things for bookmarks. Usually the nearest flat thin object. Receipts, membership cards, paper money, coasters, pierces of yarn....... I’m sure you get the idea. So I used 3 4 inch squares to make some corner bookmarks from fabric. 
Square one was interfaced on one half by a half triangle shape and folded over and pressed into a triangle itself. This was placed on a corner of an interfaced square facing right side up and covered by a third square right side down. 

Sew all round leaving a turning gap, clip corners and turn through and press after poking corners out. Press again and top stitch close to edge closing the open edge 


So now I have 3 bookmarks for around the house. Pretty ones at that. 

 Tutorial came from Pinterest and on craftystaci.com. Got to admit I’m having a blast with quick and easy projects at the moment. Need to find more projects to keep me amused in my time I get to myself in the evenings. 


What do you do? Fold the corners or use a bookmark of some description?
