The best way to get a child to read is to make it fun. I am always looking for creative ways to make reading an enjoyable experience for my daughter. When it comes to reading, you can’t go wrong with a Bat Corner Bookmark to mark your pages. Besides, this is also a great way to bring out the Halloween spirit.

Of course, you don’t only have to make bookmarks during Halloween. Check out some of our other bookmarks you can make any time of the year:

How to Make a Bat Corner Bookmark

Step 1:

Select craft papers for the bat bookmarks. I’m using black coloured craft paper for the wings and ears; and purple for the body (oval shape). Trace the template patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely using scissors.

Step 2:

Apply a small amount of glue in the middle of the wings pattern and place the oval-shaped cutout ring in the middle of the wings. Press the oval-shaped paper firmly against the glued part of the wings to make sure that they are attached nicely.

Step 3:

Attach the ears and the eyes of the bat.

Step 4:

Use a black sharpie to draw a thin curved line for the mouth and then attach the 2 triangular (fangs) cutout papers aligned to the curved line. Make sure to attach the fangs with their pointy ends facing downwards. While the glue dries, grab a square paper (8 inches x 8 inches) and make an origami corner bookmark.
