Halloween season has arrived! I’m kicking off my favorite holiday with these quick and easy DIY bat Halloween decorations. All you need is black construction paper and some glue. Googly eyes are optional, but always appreciated!
Bat Pennant Banner Instructions
Start with a standard-size sheet of construction paper and cut it in half. Accordion fold as shown below.
Open up the accordion and fold it side to side. Cut the wings at a tapered angle to create the shape of the wings. This step is optional, but I find it makes the finished bats look less like black butterflies.
Next, cut a small strip of paper and wrap it around the middle of the wings. Use some glue to secure the strip. Cut out the bat head and stick on googly eyes.
I didn’t use a template, just free-hand. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect. The kids will have fun regardless! My daughter spent an hour cutting up the leftover scraps of paper and gluing them together. She also used up all the googly eyes and made her monster decoration.
What DIY decorations or costumes are you making this year with your littles? Please share!
