Bat Treat Boxes

It is Halloween in 2 weeks from now, wow, how time flies when we are getting busy!!!! This year I made some easy bat treat boxes for the trick-or-treat Halloween treats for the visiting kids.

These bat treat boxes are easy and quick to make, all you need are some black card stock, paper eyes or googly eyes and glue. To save your time, I also included the template of the bat wings for you to download and print. If you did the Bats Flying Wall tutorial I shared last year and still keep the bat wings with you, it is time to bring them out to turn them into the bat treat boxes. If you prefer, you can always draw your own bat wings 🙂

As for the treat box, I used a piece of rectangle black card stock and roll it into a tube then press both ends to make curved flaps. You can use toilet paper roll and paint it to black. Attach eyes and draw some expressions for the bat to give individual character to the bat treat boxes. You can find the detail DIY tutorial and bat template below.

Materials & supplies:

1. Bat wings I used this but you can always draw yours and cut it out from black card stocks.
2. Black card-stocks, 5″ x 4″ or you can use toilet paper roll and paint it to black

5. White color pencil or marker
6. Scissor
7. Ruler
8. All purpose adhesive, clear. I used UHU

Gather and prepare the above-listed materials and supplies.
Download the bat template and cut it out as shown in Bats Flying Wall. I used the largest size of the wings.
Assemble the eyes using white and black circle sticker. If you don’t have stickers, you can cut out from white and black paper respectively.
I used 5″ x 4″ black card stock for the body but you can use toilet paper roll and paint it into black.

Draw a line 1/2″ from the edge of the 4″ side. Apply adhesive.

Overlap 1/2″ and glue it to the other edge to make a paper tube.
Wait a while for it to dry.

Press one end of the paper roll flat to get 2 crease line at the side.

Press the other end but in a perpendicular direction to the first one.

Slowly press the edge inward to form a curve. Repeat the same to the other side. Make sure both curves are similar and the flaps are able to close up the opening of the tube, as shown in the picture.

Repeat the same to the other end to form the curve.

Press and glue one end together to form a small bat treat box or pocket as shown in the picture.

Attach the wings and eyes to the bat treat box by gluing them on it.

Draw a mouth and give expression to the bat treat box with white color pencil or marker.

Fill the bat treat box with candies and treats, close the flaps.
You can make some smaller ones, add strings so that you can hang it on any place you want.

The bat treat boxes are waiting for the visiting kids to come for trick-or-treat activities.
