Hanging Bats
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
No house would be truly haunted without a swarm of bats flying about. These cardboard creatures look terrifically lifelike dangling from the ceiling and walls.
- Materials
-
- Toilet tissue tube
- Black tempera paint and brushes
- Black poster board
- Googly eyes
- Black felt (optional)
- Elastic cording
- Stapler
- Instructions
-
-
For each bat, cut out two triangular ears from one end of a toilet tissue tube. Next, flatten the other end and staple it shut about 1 inch from the bottom. Cut a crescent shape in the stapled end to form the bat's tail.
-
Paint the tube black and let it dry.
-
Next, cut out a wing shape from a 1-foot-long strip of black poster board. (For a more hair-raising look, first glue a veneer of black felt to the poster board.) Staple the wings to the bat's body.
-
Glue on googly eyes.
-
Finally, staple the elastic cord to the bat's back at the balance point, then hang the creature from the ceiling.
