How to make a bat wall for Halloween

Follow these steps to make your own bat flock!

Step 1) Find your bat images

Find and size some bat images to cut out with your Cricut.

You can either use a pre-existing project (search for “bat window” to find some) OR make a new file, click into “Images” and then search for “bat” to choose your own bats.

Make a wide selection of bats in different sizes.

Step 2) Cut out the bats and prepare them for the wall

Cut out all of your bats. When cutting, you might decide that you need more than you originally thought.

I ended up cutting around 30-40 bats in total, from two different shades of black card for a bit of variety.

To prepare each bat to go on the wall, fold the wings up towards you for a 3D effect, then place a bit of blu tack on the underside of the bat’s belly.

This is how you will stick them to the wall.

Step 3) Stick to the wall

Stick your bats to the wall – this is the fun part!

I started with the smallest bats in the bottom corner and then arranged them diagonally to look like a flock of bats coming out from the edge of the wall.

Here’s how it ended up:

I did one “swarm” of bats either side of the wall, so there is a matching one that you can’t see in the photo.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make your own bat wall.

Happy crafting,
