Bending and snapping an Origami bat

Because of the economy in the number of folds and the quality of the movement in the wings of beats, this clever origami, a creation of the deg farrelly designer butterfly, is one of my favorite action models.

Over the years I've folded it repeatedly, often in black paper on Halloween, saying those I give it's a beat of bat. Always people respond enthusiastically to this model.  I am very pleased deg farrelly gave me the authorization to teach its model in the next video.

Advice of the designer and tips for folding and the Halloween bat to components

A piece of paper 10 inches square crisp kami is ideal. If not, experiment with paper thin and crispy.For a smaller cut bat a piece of 6 inches of kami by making two rectangles equal half. Use one of these rectangles for folding the model.Once the wings are around your finger hold the wings close to your finger with the other hand, letting go only when you are ready to make snapping.Take to the bat thus wings point downwards and then gently make wings flutter a tiny little.  Then-part quickly and away from your hand. This mimics how bats are suspended ceiling of the cave, and then fly when surprised.

To learn more about this model as a butterfly to teaching, see the dedicated Web page of deg farrelly reading a story who wrote Anne Bedrick. On the Web site you will also find diagrams for the butterfly.
