Tuck both ends of the triangle under the point you just folded up. That is your corner bookmark! Add two googly eyes with glue dots. Cut two small white rectangles for the bat's fangs, attach with glue dots or glue stick. Cut two small black triangles for the bat's wings. Cut an "M" shape from the bottom of the triangle to make the wing.
