For now, read on for the step-by-step guide to make this super cute bat!
List of Supplies:
- Colored craft paper – black or grey or any colour of your choice
- White and pink coloured paper
- Craft glue
- Scissors
- Tape or Stapler
- Pencil – for tracing the template
- FREE Bat Template
Step 1:
Firstly, select a craft paper for the project and cut out a rectangular piece out of it. I chose gray and mine was 12.5-inch x 7 inch. By keeping the 0.5 inch intact; fold the 12 inch into half. Remember, you can choose any color you’d like!
Step 2:
Secondly, apply glue along the 0.5 inch part. Fold and stick the glued part with the other open end of the folded rectangular paper.
Step 3:
Fold up 2 inches of the current paper from any one of the open ends. Do not fold the closed ends.
Step 4:
By keeping the paper on a flat surface, open the bottom of it from one side. This will create a triangular pattern on the side.
Step 5:
Similarly, open the other side of the bottom and flatten the paper neatly. Now it has 2 open sides, like flaps.
Step 6:
Hold any one of the open sides and fold half of it downwards, slightly overlapping the center line.
Step 7:
Similarly, hold the other open side and fold half of it upwards, overlapping the previous side’s fold. Apply glue along the overlapped part to secure the bottom of the bag. Notice the 2 squares formed on both sides of the bottom.
Step 8:
Create crease along the along the sides (left and right). Match the opposite corners of the squares on the sides of the bottom part to make perfect crease lines along the left and right. This will create crease lines on both the front and back side of the bag and a center line for each pair of creases.
Step 9:
Unfold the folds created for the crease and carefully tuck the center line inwards. The open end can be secured by using clear tape or glue or staplers, whichever you prefer. Then the bag is ready!
Step 10:
Trace the patterns from the template on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely. You can access the TEMPLATE and print it off.
Step 11:
Attach the wings on any one of the creases on the sides.
Step 12:
One by one attach the other details of the bat to complete the bag.
Allow the glue to dry.
Done!
