Origami: How to fold a Bat

SPONSORED LINK
 

 

Guess what!  There are some small bats inhabiting my residential area.

When I first saw them, I thought to myself,

“OMG!!!  Some huge butterflies are flying toward me!!!”

Founding out that they were actually ‘bats’, I was so surprised

 

So, I’ll try to make those ‘bats’ with origami paper this time!

A bat (cutting-type)

 

1 First, fold it in half and make a triangle.

Fold it in half again to make another triangle, and then open it all the way.

2 Next, fold it in half to make it rectangular. Fold it in half again to make a square.

3 Expand one of the squares that you just made

and make a triangle along the creases you made in No.1 and No.2.

Turn it over and do the same thing for the other side too (like the picture below).

4 Take the upper part and fold it along the middle line like the picture below.

5 Draw the curved line on the left side.

Cut both of the paper along the line that you just drew.

6 Fold the one triangle on the left side to the right side,

along the middle line, like the picture below.

7 Turn it over.  Fold the top triangle on the left side, to the middle line,

like the picture below.

8 Push the one you made in No.7 to the left side like the picture below.

9 Since the top part will be the bat’s head,

fold about 1 inch down like the picture below.

10 Fold the snout part up and down like a staircase and it’s done!

As soon as I finished making this,

I got a little excited since it was exactly the same size as the ones I saw

 

There might be these big sized bats in your area too!

If they were this colorful, I would think they’re pretty though…

Why don’t you have your own fairy tale-world making pretty ‘bats’.

 

A bat (normal-type)

 

1 First, fold it in half and make a triangle.

2 Fold it in half again to make another triangle.

3 Put it back to No.1 and turn it to the inverted triangle.

Fold the base part down like the picture below.

4 Take one wing and do a mountain fold and a valley fold to the middle line.

Do the same thing for the other wing.

It’ll be a better-looking if you angle it a little bit like the picture below.

5 Fold the upper two cornered parts in the middle and make triangles.

6 Turn it over and fold the bottom parts inside like the picture below.

7 Fold the triangles you made in No.5 down to this side. It’s done!

You can make this bat even without scissors.

 

I saw some kids playing with these bats, saying,

It’s so cool!  They’re like airplanes!”

I wonder if they’ll fly well though…?

But it’s all fine since they’re actually enjoying flying them!

 

It could be dangerous if it hits people, so play with it in a spacious place, ok?.
