Quick & Fun Origami Bats
You can use black paper for a classic bat look, or switch things up like I did with purples and blues. You could even use some glittery paper for a little extra flair.
And don't forget to add googly eyes, fangs, or a cheeky little smile!
You can even get the kiddos involved, my little boy loves drawing the silly faces on the bats. We’ve had some with moustaches, glasses and bow ties.

Once you’ve folded a whole colony of these cute paper bats, you can use them in so many ways! I love to hang them from string to make a garland. You could also stick them to your walls or windows to give your home that extra spooky touch.

How To Make An Easy Origami Bat.
1. Take a square piece of paper and fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.
2. Make sure the point of the triangle is facing towards you.
3. Fold the top straight edge down about 2cm. This will make the wings.
4. Take the left wing and fold it in towards the middle but not all the way.
You need to line up the fold on the wing with the side of the triangle as shown above as a guide.
4. Repeat on the opposite side.
5. Next take the left wing again and fold it back on itself.
6. Repeat on the second wing.
7. Flip your folded paper over to reveal your bat.
8. Take a pair of scissors and cut a small triangle out of the top of the bat's head to make the ears.
9. Add some eyes and mouth to complete your origami paper bat.
And there you have it, how to make your own origami bat. These little origami bats are so cute, and the best part is you can make a whole bunch in no time at all.
