Flying Bats
Create a flock of flying bats in minutes.
By:
Dana Willard
Materials Needed:
- bat template (search online for "bat template")
- 1 piece white paper
- 1 pack of black card stock or construction paper
- scissors
- tape
Print and Cut Template
After searching for "bat template" online, trace your template onto the sheet of white paper and cut out a template. (It'll be half of a bat.)
Fold Paper and Align Templates
Fold the black paper in half, vertically, and lay the bat templates on top, lined up with the fold.
Start Cutting Bats
Don't bother with tracing. That takes way too long. Just hold the pattern on there as you cut. It doesn't need to be exact.
Unfold Bats
When you're done you have these cool little guys!
Attach Tape
Attach tape to the back of each bat.
Arrange Inside
Display them in any fashion you, like but bats usually do fly in a stream, following each other.
