How to Make Origami BatsStep 1: The Base FoldsSelect a colored craft paper for the bat craft, we’re using black paper. Prepare the paper into a fine square shape. Fold the paper in half from both sides and then unfold. Fold both sides inwards, aligning them with the middle crease created previously; unfold them again. Now, fold either side of the paper inwards and aligning it with the crease created previously (the side folds). These 5 creases are the 5 basic creases. Step 2: Diagonal FoldsNow, flip the paper to the other side and fold the paper diagonally to create diagonal creases. Step 3: Form a Star PatternFlip the paper to the other side again. Fold the paper along the diagonal folds and the 2 criss-cross half folds. Drawing the diagonal creases upwards and the other half-fold creases downwards, try to form a star pattern. Step 4: Flatten the PatternJoin 2 corners (open ends) of the start pattern together and flatten the pattern. Step 5: Open a SideThe current pattern will half 2 pocket-like open ends. Place the pattern on a flat surface and make sure that the side with no crease is on the top. Open the top pattern carefully. Step 6: Flatten the PatternJoin the open corners (both left and right) in the middle of the pattern and then flatten the front part with the rest of the pattern. Step 7: Fold-up the Bottom EndFold up the bottom end of the top part and join it with the top end. Step 8: Fold the Left FlapFold the left side (flap) to the right side and then fold it in half. Step 9: Fold the Left Flap BackFold the left flap to the left side again. Step 10: Prepare the Right FlapSimilarly, fold the right flap of the current paper pattern. Step 11: Flip the PatternFlip the current paper pattern to the other side. This is the front side of the origami paper bat. Step 12: Opening the Top LayersThis side of the pattern should have a crease along the middle, which we created in the first step of the tutorial. Fold the top open end and align it with the crease along the middle. Step 13: Form the Left EarLet’s work on the left side first. Fold and flatten the 2 layers of paper from the top and this will automatically draw the pattern on the front side and form a triangular shape on the top side. Step 14: Form the Right EarsSimilarly, fold the right side of the paper pattern. These are the ears of the origami paper bat. Step 15: Complete the Bat CraftSince we’re using black paper for our origami paper bat, we had to use craft papers to create the eyes and other facial features. For lighter colored craft papers, you can simply use a sharpie or pen to draw the face. Watch Video Tutorial: How to Make Origami Paper BatHaving difficulty understanding the picture tutorial?
