The team enjoyed crafting these BATs the most. They are easy to make and fun to decorate. You can get your kids to help cut out the template and you can just stick them with a masking tape on the door, walls or window. It looks awesome when you get to stick like 2 dozens of them on the wall in different sizes. It gives that feel of a bat cave! In our case we wanted it to look like it is flying in the air as the doors opened at the workshop so here is how we did it.
You will need to print out the Bat template - you can download this template for free by clicking here. To make the bats you will need any sturdy light card stock paper in black of course. It can be a construction paper / cartolina / vellum will work as well. Other basic crafting materials will be scissors, cutter or Xacto knife and nylon strings. Try to print the bat template in different sizes. We suggest 3 different sizes. For the small bats template click here. You will have to assemble and put together two half body of the bat for the big ones (click here for the big bats template) because this will not fit a bond size sheet or legal size sheet. Follow where the scoring is done to give it that real bat wing look. Cut small slits on each side of the wings - right about where the scoring is. String in your nylon string and string the other side to the other wing. You will get a wing that looks like it is getting ready to fly. Ones you have done all your bats connect them to each other and hang. Alternately you can just stick them straight to your wall.
Hope you guys enjoy crafting these flying bats. If you like our craft do share that like in our Facebook page and follow us on Instagram #ohjoyandco
