bats flying wall decor

Bats flying wall decor is a quick and easy paper craft to make, it transforms your wall and perhaps your home instantly for a spooky Halloween ambiance. How quick is it? It takes about 1 hour with most of the time spends on cutting out the bats. How easy is it? All you need to do is trace, cut, bend, and stick.

Inspired by the butterfly wall that I did for my daughter, I enlarged the bat template from the Halloween pillow I made last year and taadaa…. A Bat Swarming Wall is created. You may also hang the bats on the tree branches.

You may further decorate the bat swarmed wall by adding black tulle netting, some spider webs, and spiders on the corners of the wall or on the bar counter to make it more spooky. Some skeletons, crows, jack ‘o lantern, ghost light, mummy holder will do great for the Halloween bar counter too. Get more ideas on Halloween crafts, here.

More Halloween crafts to be added soon for the whole October month. Stay tuned!!!
