Bat Silhouettes


Bats in different sizes give the illusion that some are close, and some are far away. To make one: Print and cut out the bat template; tape wing sections to body, matching up the dotted lines. Use a utility knife to cut out facial details. Our bats range from 6 inches to 3 feet across; template sections can be enlarged or reduced on a photocopier as desired. Trace template onto heavy black construction paper, taping pieces together for larger bats; cut out. Use removable double-sided tape to attach bats to wall, curving them over moldings and leaving edges of wings free to "flap."

Idea from Martha Stewart

No, these pics are from Martha Stewarts website. I thought they would be fun to do for Halloween. Hopefully they aren't to hard.
