Let's Make and Display! Origami Perfect for Halloween

Origami bat

October Origami — Bat

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small triangle, then make a slit under the top corner, parallel to the base.

Make the slit from the side opposite the fold, being careful not to cut it off.

The upper triangular section you slit will become the bat’s head, and the lower part will be the wings.

Open the paper back into the large triangle, and fold the slit section toward the central crease to form the head shape.

Fold the same parts back to create the bat’s distinctive ears.

Use a zigzag (mountain–valley) fold for the junction between the head and body.

Finally, fold the remaining wings several times to add creases and give it a three-dimensional finish, and you’re done.

Cut off the top layer of the folded-down triangle with scissors, leaving it as the space to write your message.

Flip the origami top to bottom, fold the left and right edges toward the base, then fold them up again to create the cat’s ears.

A ghost wearing a hat

[Halloween Origami] How to make an easy ghost with a witch hat using a single sheet

Here’s how to fold a cute, plump little ghost dressed up with a witch’s hat.

You’ll use both the front and back colors of the origami paper: the front color becomes the witch’s hat, and the white back becomes the ghost’s body.

Making the protruding part of the hat involves some precise folds and might be a bit tricky, but once you get that, all that’s left is shaping the ghost’s body.

Fold it in your favorite colors and make lots of ghosts wearing colorful hats together!
