You'll be batty for this awesome origami project! Join in the fun as origami master, Michael LaFosse shows you hold to fold a super scary bat!

1 square sheet of paper (if using origami paper, make sure it's white side up)

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Take square paper - white side up, diamond shape.
  2. Fold paper bottom to top corner.
  3. Fold the two narrow corners together and reopen- note the crease down the middle.
  4. Flip paper.
  5. Take bottom and fold up near top so that an equal side triangle is visible.
  6. Flip paper.
  7. Grab wide right corner and fold so that the crease hits the bottom vertical crease.
  8. Repeat and fold on the left.
  9. Flip paper and look for small edge and bend the paper along the edge to the other side- repeat then unfold.
  10. Fold top edge from tip fold and flatten to make bat wing.
  11. Turn paper around 180 degrees.
  12. Fold a small bottom triangle to make a face and make a second small triangle at the tip for a nose.
  13. Bend the paper through vertical middle to lock folds in place.
