How adorable are these DIY Origami Bats? With their folded wings and pointy little ears, they’re the perfect mix of spooky and cute! Whether you’re planning a Halloween party, decorating your home, or looking for a fun, candy-free alternative to hand out on Trick-or-Treat night, these little bats are sure to be a hit.

They’re incredibly easy to make with just a square sheet of paper and a few simple folds, making them a fantastic craft project for both kids and adults. Use black paper for a classic creepy look, or get creative with patterned paper, glitter cardstock, or even glow-in-the-dark sheets for extra fun.

These origami bats look especially effective hanging from a doorway or mantle—just add a bit of string and you’ve got instant Halloween décor. You could also tape them to the wall in a flying pattern, or attach them to treat bags as a festive tag.

Whether you’re crafting solo, with your kids, or hosting a Halloween crafternoon, these DIY Origami Bats are a charmingly spooky addition to your holiday. Give them a try and add a handmade twist to your haunted festivities!
