Haunt your halls with a colony of these denizens of the dark. They can just hang around, or they can take wing as a bat mobile -- tape several to pieces of monofilament and string them from a small branch.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Black paper (construction or scrapbook paper works best)
cut into 8- by 8-inch squares
Scissors Glow-in-the-dark paint | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Fold an 8- by 8-inch square of black paper into a
triangle. |
| 2. | Fold down the top 2 inches of the triangle. |
| 3. | Fold each side flap in along the inner lines shown here,
then back out along the outer lines, to form dimensional
wings. |
| 4. | To create ears, use scissors to cut a notch along the top,
between the wings. |
| 5. | Flip the bat over and add eyes with glow-in-the-dark paint.
To give the body dimension, make a vertical crease down the
center.
