A model design of Leyla Torres & Julio Salcedo
Do you like to fold origami animals? In this video tutorial, you will learn how to fold a pair of origami bookmarks named Corazón and Corbatín (Heart and Bowtie).
I am very excited to share these origami bookmarks because they allow for the experience of (easily) applying a “Close Sink” fold which involves pressing a point inside the paper creating a lock that does not easily come undone.
The model is based on a cat head by Julio Salcedo (Colombia). Julio taught me how to make the head of a cat from a 2:1 piece of paper, which I then turned into a bookmark by changing the paper proportion to 1:4–a longer narrower strip––and then adding heart and bowtie design elements.
