paper and fold it diagonally to make a triangle (give it a fold both ways so you have a nice strong crease).<\/li><li>Fold back corner on one side \u2013 point should meet edge of paper. Take each corner at the base of the triangle\u00a0&amp; fold each up to the centre point, now you will have a square<\/li><li>Your square will be left with two loose pieces. Fold each of the flaps\u00a0and tuck them inside.<\/li><li>Take the bookmark and draw a circle, you can use a bottle or any circular object.<\/li><li>Cut the circle out carefully, making sure it has two straight edges on the folded sides. If you like, you can glue the bookmark together, but it isn\u2019t necessary.<\/li><li>After making the ghost face, take another white copy paper and place it beneath the ghost face and draw the lower body of the ghost, making sure to match the size of the face.<\/li><li><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-6758e1c ); color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">Cut out the lower body part of the ghost and attach it to the ghost face using a glue stick.<\/span><\/li><li>To create the ghost&#8217;s facial features and hands, use black and white copy paper. Draw two distinct round eyes, with one eye slightly bigger than the other. Position them close together on the ghost&#8217;s face.<\/li><li>For the ghost&#8217;s hands, use a white sheet of paper. Draw the hand shapes and attach them on both sides of the ghost&#8217;s body, just below the face on the ghost lower body.<\/li><li>Craft the ghost&#8217;s mouth by using black paper. Create an oval-shaped mouth and make a tongue from pink or red copy paper. Cut these shapes neatly and stick them beneath the eyes, towards the centre of the ghost&#8217;s face.<\/li><li>Your ghost-themed bookmark is now ready to be placed in spooky story books.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b89dfc7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b89dfc7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c490da4\" data-id=\"c490da4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0e924d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b0e924d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Shark Bookmark<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eb68a6b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eb68a6b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-886f5ac\" data-id=\"886f5ac\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ed0950 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ed0950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shark-main-image.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-35082\" alt=\"Making shark bookmarks for kids\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Shark-main-image.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2023\/09\/Shark-main-image-300x247.jpg.avif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/09\\\/Shark-main-image.jpg 730w, https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/09\\\/Shark-main-image-300x247.jpg 300w&quot;}\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f69b7b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f69b7b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Things you&#8217;ll need:<\/h3><ul><li>Coloured\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/search?searchTerm=&amp;productCodes=PAPE9719%7CPAPE9870%7CCRAF6900%7CPAPE9851%7CCRAF6901%7CPAPE9817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copy paper<\/a>\u00a0or traditional origami paper (if you have it)<\/li><li>Scissors<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/search?searchTerm=&amp;productCodes=PENC2025%7CPENC2185%7CPENC2305%7CPENC2316%7CPENC2331%7CPENC2215%7CPENC2203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pencil<\/a><\/li><li>Coloured\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/search?searchTerm=&amp;productCodes=MARK9040%7CMARK1590%7CMARK9061%7CMARK4060%7CMARK4727%7CMARK4738%7CMARK1090%7CMARK9030%7CMARK9070%7CMARK9025%7CMARK1590%7CMARK1590%7CMARK5160\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marker<\/a><\/li><li><a style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-6758e1c );
