Make some flying bats with our instructions

No Halloween party would be complete without some bats!

We show you how to get some nocturnal creatures in your home.

Halloween is a time for all creatures to come out into the night - be it bats or witches and ghouls!

We show you how to make some bat decorations which you can use for a Halloween party.

	What you need: Black cardboard Bat template String or cotton Scissors Pen Hole punch
Step 1 Click here to print off the bat template.
	Step 2 Cut out the template and place on top of the black cardboard. Draw around it, then cut out the shape.
Step 3 Now gently bend the bat shape down the middle so its wings stand up.
	Step 4 Using the hole punch, make a hole on one of the wings. If you want, you can decorate your bat using glitter and coloured paper.
Step 5 Next, thread some string or black cotton through the hole and hang up around the house!
