Halloween and bats pretty much go hand in hand, right? Yes, bats are around all the time, but there's something about them – maybe the fact that they're nocturnal, or that they sometimes live in caves, or that some of them are “vampires” – whatever the reason, when you think of bats, you think of Halloween.
Whether you're inclined to think that bats are fascinating or that they're spooky (or maybe both!), we've got a selection of 20 Bat Recipes & Crafts that you can use to feature these fascinating creatures come Halloween!
With many of these bat wings recipes, all you need is to see the silhouette of those wings and you immediately know what it is!

I like the Flying Halloween Bats that are pictured grouped around the mirror. There is a free template to make them offered on the page that the above link takes you to. They’re simple but look neat when you have a number of them on the wall.
