Make Your Own Halloween Bat Decorations

Origami paper bats are fun. There is a paper craft book that is very enjoyable. The paper folding patterns are easy and instructions are clear and well presented.

The book is called Paper Folding Made Easy by Kris Mason. This paper folder enthusiast has already written about the origami bat that appears in the book.

That pattern is detailed in Origami Bats in the Kitchen for Halloween. In the book and on my web page the bat is presented for children to fold. It is so easy.

Hang around the bat cave and explore what one bat enthusiast has done for Halloween with an origami bat pattern.

This book has a lot of bang for the buck. All the folds are easy. Folds for Kids, cards, scraping and decorations. Also cootie catchers, paper airplanes, the necklace chain and the origami bat.

Remember when you learned the necklace chain during the summer sessions at elementary school? Every summer I revisited that craft till 5th grade. 8 sheets of folding tiles for cards and box toppers.

Printed very attractively with dozens of pictures. KP Krause Publications, Iola, WI. 2002

Love This Book

Homemade Halloween Decorations

The book in the above spotlight I have used repeatedly and tried every pattern. I have had fun using different tile motifs to make several cards in 4X5 and 5X7 inch sizes.

The paper bat pattern has given me a continued run of creative ideas. Halloween just makes more reason to paper fold bats.

If you have read "Bats in the Kitchen," you are familiar with how the pattern gets morphed into a witch. A likely companion for the bats.

Halloween is a holiday that many children enjoy. Put your imagination to work and share time around the kitchen table with young ones.

Try making the bats. Your creations just might be your cave's spooky denizens for many more Halloweens to come.

    I've made thousands of paper cranes but never bats. These are really "artful" they are beautifully displayed.

    I ran across this site by accident, I wrote the book you mentioned (Paper folding made easy) It warms my heart to know there are people out there still enjoying my work. Love the necklace by the way.
    Thanks for the pick-me up!
    Happy folding,
    Kris

    How do you do, Kris. Why yes, I enjoy the book and use the tea bag fold medallions for cards that I sell at the Farmer's Market. I admire your book's presentation. Very well done. Let me know if you happen to publish another paper folding book. Thank you so much for the message.
    Sincerely, Sherry @ paperfacets
