How to Make an Origami Bat

"Hi! I am Michael Webb on behalf of Expert Village.com. Right now we are going to make a bat. This is actually a pretty simple design. What you want to do is, do a horizontal edge-to-edge valley fold here and just bring that down until you have a long rectangular shape. You are going to fold that again in half until you get back to a square. Now taking that you want to make a squash fold and bring this edge into a triangle and flip the paper over and do another fold on this edge. Then on these top two that you have just folded down, go ahead and fold this down until this edge meets your center line crease. Do the same for the reverse. Then take your top right here and you are going to fold this down in order to make the head until it is about 1-2 centimeters long. Give it a nice firm crease; and take a pair of scissors and just make about a centimeter long snip on each end. And these are going to be the ears which you just want to fold up and give a good crease and there you have bat. "
