Are you ready to do it yourself?

Let’s start crafting!

How to Make Paper Crafts/Halloween Wreaths

What you need:

black paper – we use regular black printing paper
scissors (and/or paper cutter)
glue
Wiggle eye patches / wiggle eyes (or white paper and black marker)

If you are making this craft for class, we highly recommend using a paper cutter as you will have a lot of paper strips in no time.

Or follow the step-by-step instructions below

Cut strips of paper. You will need 4 strips for each bat.

We cut them to the width of a regular sheet of paper (letter/A4 size) and they are about a “finger” wide.

No need for exact measures.

To make this easier, gently fold the paper strips in half.

Glue two strips of paper together at right angles (forming a cross).

Glue the remaining two strips of paper on top of the first two. Spread them evenly (it looks like snowflakes).
