Bats- Origami Style

Here is a cute and easy little Halloween decoration that we did. Super easy to fold and Kairi even got in on the action. Here are the directions:

1. Fold an 8- by 8-inch square of black paper into a triangle.

Step 2 - Origami Bats 2. Fold down the top 2 inches of the triangle.

Step 3 - Origami Bats 3. Fold each side flap in along the inner lines shown here, then back out along the outer lines, to form dimensional wings.

Step 4 - Origami Bats 4. To create ears, use scissors to cut a notch along the top, between the wings.

Step 5 - Origami Bats 5. Flip the bat over and add eyes with glow-in-the-dark paint. To give the body dimension, make a vertical crease down the center.
