Directions

  1. Print out the bat template. If you don’t want your bat this big, use the first page which has a reference bat.
  2. I made my template a little bit bigger. Next, cut out your bat.
  3. Take your black paper and fold it diagonally.
  4. Place the bat template on the fold as shown in the above photo. I was able to get two bats on one piece of paper.
  5. Fold the wings where the template shows the dotted lines.
  6. Poke a small hole at the bottom of the bat.
  7. Cut a string the length you want the bat to hang.
  8. Thread the string through the hole and tie a knot.
  9. Hang the string with packaging tape to the ceiling of your porch.
