When it comes to decor for your halloween party, why not skip the party shop and head to the craft shop for some black paper to make these origami bats? Below are instructions for different styles of origami bats, from basic and easy origami instructions to devilishly difficult folding instructions for those who have sold their soul for the ability to make beautiful origami.
🦇 Super easy origami bat instructions
This paper bat decoration is easy enough to be made by kids, who can then draw or glue on googly eyes. Once you have finished making your hand-made origami bats, you can attach them to walls, windows and door frames with sticky putty; the kind that teenagers use to put up posters on their bedroom walls.
🦇 Easy Halloween origami bat instructions
This origami bat is still easy enough for kids to do, which means that it can make a great decoration for halloween classrooms. Faces can be drawn on with gel pen or painted on with student acrylic or poster paints, and the wings can be decorated with red, orange or black glitter and sequins.
🦇 A slightly tricky but fun origami bat tutorial
This halloween origami is a little more difficult to make than the previous two instructionals, but the tutorial video takes you through the folding process step by step, so if you’re willing to watch it a few times while practicing, you should be able to make this origami bat over and over again without needing to re-watch the video.
🦇 Make this funny and freaky sitting origami bat
Your friends will have a good laugh when they see this little fella sitting on the bathroom windowsill! Is it Dracula in bat form, come to, um, drink their blood or something else? This origami project is somewhat time-consuming, but the finished bat can be decorated with red paint to appear to be Dracula in his bat disguise, perhaps with blood dripping down his chin after sucking the blood of some unfortunate Halloweener.
🦇 Challenge yourself to make this devilishly difficult origami bat
This origami bat design is the most challenging build of the lot. It’s going to take time and patience and maybe a few magic spells to finish it! Click this link to find the eight pages of instructions to make this beautiful, realistic little monster. Happy halloween!
