DIY Bats

Fall is here!!!

It’s by far my favorite season and what better way to celebrate than to show you how to make these adorable Halloween bats!

Supplies:

• Black craft paper

• Ruler

• White colored pencil

• Scissors

First, to make the bats the same width as the paper you’ll want to measure and mark the center point which is about 4 1/4 inches.

You’ll then mark where each point of the bat would be in terms of width.

(Below are my measurements for reference)

Once you have all the widths marked out you’ll then flip your ruler around and mark the heights of all your points.

(Below are my measurements for reference)

Once all the measurements are marked on one side you can then mark all the measurements on the other side.

And then it’s just a matter of connecting the dots.

Once the bat is all drawn out you can then cut it out carefully with your scissors.

Then, using that first bat you can trace out more bats on your paper.

And cut them all out.

Once all the bats are cut out you’ll then flip them over to hide the white lines and fold in the wings to make them appear as if they are flying.

You can then create some smaller bats by simply cutting the measurements in half.

(Below are my measurements for reference)

And again you can use that first bat as a template to trace out more bats.

Then just cut them all out.

And fold the wings in.

To hang up my bats I use double-sided tape and style them by arranging groups of the smaller bats with the bigger bats.

These bats really just add the perfect touch of Halloween to any room!
