How to fold an origami bat face

A triangle with its corners swung up into ears far bigger than the face, and a blunt little chin. Draw tiny white fangs.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, black or dark purple on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. White side up. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
  2. Swing up the ears. Fold the left and right corners up on long slanted lines, so they stand up tall and sharp above the top edge.
  3. Blunt the chin. Fold the bottom point up behind so the chin is short and flat.
  4. Turn it over. Flip it over so the smooth side faces you.

Squeak!

Draw two white eyes, a small nose and two tiny white fangs.
