How to make Halloween bat-shaped paper plates

What you need:

paper plate
yellow paint
paint brush
black paper
drag
glue

Step-by-step instructions

This can be made with small or regular sized paper plates, the main thing is to have round paper plates.

Paint the back of the paper plate yellow. It is best to use Tempera paint or acrylic paint.

Set the sheet aside to let the paint dry. While the paint dries let’s make the bats.

Cut small rectangles of various sizes from black paper.

Fold each rectangle in half and cut into a bat shape, half a bat with the body at the fold and the wings facing the opening of the folded rectangle.

This way you will get a symmetrical bat.

Apply glue to the bat’s body (you can skip the wings) and then stick it on the paper plate.

Repeat for as many bats as you can fit on the paper plate. Some bat wings can even spread beyond the edge of the paper plate.

After the glue dries, you can fold the wings a little to make the whole creation look more 3D.

All done, your Halloween bat paper plate is complete and ready to display.
