The bat according to this assembly scheme attracted me with its beauty and simplicity. Even a novice origami enthusiast can complete the job in 10-15 minutes!
Typically, origami designs do not involve the use of scissors. But in this case we will need them to make two small cuts.
How to make a bat using origami technique:
Take a sheet of black construction paper and cut a square with sides of 9 cm.

- The next stage is creating the wings. There are several lines visible in the photo. I was experimenting with how the bat would look in different fold positions. If you start the fold further from the middle, the mouse looks more like a stingray. In the end, I stepped back less than a centimeter to the right and folded the oblique line to the base of the lower triangle.

- Carefully smooth out the folds.

- Bend the wings back, moving the folds towards the center by 3-5 mm.
How to make an origami bat part 7
- At the top of the figure, two small triangles are visible on the sides. Along the sides closest to the center, we make two small cuts to the line of the wings.
- We bend the central part between the cuts to the wrong side. We highlight the central line of the body and the lines parallel to the wings to give the figure volume.
A pleasant bonus was discovered by chance. It turns out that this figure can glide just as well as a paper airplane!

The holiday, popular in the West, is rapidly gaining momentum in the countries of the former USSR.
According to this night, the gates opened between two worlds - the living and the dead. In order not to become prey to dead power, our ancestors dressed up as animals, wearing their skins, turned off the lights in their houses, and placed treats on the porch outside the door as a payoff to evil spirits. On this night it was customary to do fortune-telling.
Today is Halloween happy holiday. Many clubs hold themed parties with dressing up, jokes, games, designed to laugh at evil spirits and night fears.
The traditional colors of this holiday are black and orange.

Today we will start preparing for Halloween. Let's start with bats. Making them is not at all difficult, so don’t forget to involve your children in this activity.
To make bats with your own hands, we The following materials are needed:
Black double-sided paper;
- scissors;
- white pencil;
- glue;
- ready-made running eyes;
- colored paper.
Depending on the thickness of the paper and the size of the mouse, they can be used not only for decoration, but also filled with sweets or prepared a whole bouquet of mice on sticks for a gift, or made as a decoration for a pen or pencil.
On black paper, using a compass or other improvised means such as a plate or saucer, draw two circles.
Cut them out, fold them in half and cut them. We will need only three halves to make the mouse.
Take one half of the circle and turn the rounded side towards you. We bend it in half, and make two more folds, as indicated in the photo, so that in the end the letter V is formed from the folds.
We bend the sides of the semicircle along the fold lines and glue them together (do not seal the pocket).
From the two remaining halves we cut out the wings. To do this, we put two blanks together, apply a design and cut them out together. Glue the finished wings to the body.
Well, now we’re making a face for the bat. In our case, we used ready-made eyes and colored paper. You can also use markers, paints, etc.
The paper bat is ready and there is more than one, admire this family.
Despite the fact that this holiday migrated to us relatively recently, it is also loved and celebrated here. For Halloween night, it is customary to dress up in costumes and decorate your home. Today we will look at manufacturing options that are very simple and quick paper crafts in the shape of a bat- three-dimensional and using the origami technique.
You can decorate your room with this figurine or give it to friends.
To make this craft we will need:
- A sheet of black paper, some white paper;
- Pencil;
- Scissors.
This craft is very quick and easy to make, so it is perfect for activities with children.
For work, it is better to choose thicker paper so that the finished figure holds its shape. You can even use thin colored cardboard.
The size of the finished craft depends on the sheet of paper that will be used. We need to cut a rectangle out of black paper the right size. You can use single-sided paper. Then we will bend the ears, and the white side will not be visible.
So, we need to make a cylinder from a rectangle. To do this, we twist it and glue it.
Photo 1
Can be used. You just need to cover it with black paper.
Now let's make the ears. We place the cylinder in front of us and bend the top side inward. Bend half of the cylinder.
Photo 2, 3
Then we bend it in the same way back wall cylinder. There should be no hole at the top of the part. The fold line will be an arc. Sharp corners form on the sides. They will serve as ears for the mouse.
Photo 4, 5
The ears are ready. Now let's make the wings. To do this, we need to fold a sheet of paper in half. Now we draw a wing with a simple pencil. Please note that you need to draw from the fold line. If the paper is white on one side, then fold it with the black side facing each other. We draw naturally on the white side.
Photo 6
Cut out the blank and unfold it. We get 2 wings at once.
Photo 7
Lubricate between the wings with glue and glue the part to the back of our cylinder. We glue it with the black side so that the fold line between the wings coincides with the place where the cylinder is glued at the back. That is, exactly in the center. Otherwise, one wing will appear smaller than the other.
Photo 8
Now we cut out eyes in the form of triangles and two fangs from white paper. Glue them on the muzzle.

You can also use a white highlighter pen or corrector. You can simply draw eyes and fangs with them.
That's it! Your Halloween craft in the shape of a bat is ready!
Origami bats – craft for Halloween
In the summer, as soon as it gets dark, nimble and small bats appear on the street. They can be confused with swallows, however, these birds do not fly at night. It is mice who hunt at night in cities and villages. At Halloween, bats take pride of place; here no one confuses them with other characters. This tutorial shows you how to make little bats out of paper using the origami technique. In addition, the design of paper products is such that they can be used as convenient corner bookmarks for books. Bats are usually black or gray. There are 2 options shown here - white and black, choose whichever one you like best. They can be considered messengers of good and evil, since we are talking about a colorful holiday - the day of evil spirits.
What is needed for work:
- white and black paper;
- nail scissors;
- grains of red color;
- black felt-tip pen or pen;
- glue.
How to make a bat figurine step by step
1. Using a black figurine as an example, let’s look at how to complete a craft. Cut out a square measuring 20cm by 20cm or so.
2. Start assembling by folding the paper in half. In this case, single- or double-sided paper of any thickness will do. Buy the regular set.
3. Place the resulting triangle in front of you so that the right angle is at the bottom. Lower the horizontal side down - the hypotenuse of the triangle. Step back about 1 cm from the edge. Bend the paper very clearly to evenly mark the horizontal fold. Use your finger to stroke the marked area several times.
4. Further bend the side parts so that in front of you is a pentagon - a multi-layered black figure. Make bends obliquely, aligning opposite sides in the center. Smooth the workpiece so that the paper remembers this position.
5. Bring the corners back again, but not completely, but by adding a small fold at the bend. Thus, the central pentagonal part will become the body-head of the bat, and the side parts will become sharp wings. If you wish, you can later draw membranes on the wings. Animals belong to bats.
6. Turn the figure over. Now the appearance of the flying representative of the Halloween holiday is clearly visible.
7. Using small scissors, carefully cut the top of the craft into a half-arc. In this way it will be possible to designate narrow ears on the head. It is thin scissors that will allow you to do the job carefully so that the entire structure does not fall apart.
8. Glue red round eyes with black dots in the center. The appearance of the mouse is ready.
9. Model the white figure in the same way. Her eyes can also be made red to show that the bat that flew in on Halloween is a vampire.
The resulting mice will feel great on the pages of the book in quality. Since the square-shaped paper was originally folded in half, you can tear it apart to put it on the corner. There are animals that are predators or herbivores, there are many varieties, we received just a copy of an interesting representative of the fauna.
