Haunt your halls with a colony of these denizens of the dark. They can just hang around, or they can take wing as a bat mobile -- tape several to pieces of monofilament and string them from a small branch.

Prep Time: About 1 hour
What you need:
 Black paper (construction or scrapbook paper works best) cut into 8- by 8-inch squares
Scissors
Glow-in-the-dark paint
Seasons: Halloween
Materials: paper
Instructions:
1.Step 1 - Origami BatsFold an 8- by 8-inch square of black paper into a triangle.
2.Step 2 - Origami BatsFold down the top 2 inches of the triangle.
3.Step 3 - Origami BatsFold each side flap in along the inner lines shown here, then back out along the outer lines, to form dimensional wings.
4.Step 4 - Origami BatsTo create ears, use scissors to cut a notch along the top, between the wings.
5.Step 5 - Origami BatsFlip the bat over and add eyes with glow-in-the-dark paint. To give the body dimension, make a vertical crease down the center.
