Materials

To make these adorable bat corner bookmarks you will need:

Paper and printer
Scissors
Glue
Bat Bookmark Printable Template (Get it here or at the end of the post)

Instructions

Print and cut the bat bookmark template on regular white paper.

Fold the square in half diagonally, as shown below.

Now you will have a triangle. Flip it over, leaving the bat’s face down.

Fold the left and right corners towards the top of the triangle. Unfold them.

Bring the top layer of the triangle to the bottom. This will create some sort of pocket.

Tuck in the right corner into the pocket.

Repeat with the left corner.

Flip your bookmark over. Cut out the top of the bat’s head (white part).

Glue the bat wings behind your bookmark. Don’t hesitate to glue them in different positions to have unique bats.

Your bat is ready to fly into your favorite book!

Tip: If you are struggling to fit the bookmarks into a book, it may be because of the position of the wings. To fix it, simply make some cuts on the back, as shown below.
