Bats Are Easy
Every haunt needs some bats flying around, and if you’ve got some skills with a paint brush and some patience you can make as many as you want following Born2haunt’s method, because Bats Are Easy. These bats do seem pretty easy to make when you consider that they’re made using a styrofoam body with wire poking through it for the wing bones.

The wire is then wrapped in cotton and paper towels are applied as skin. The entire bat is then generously coated with liquid latex and painted to suit. The great part about this prop build is that you can customize it to your heart’s content. Sure, it’s probably easier to go out and buy some bats, but they won’t look nearly as realistic as these will.
Items needed to complete this include:
- Styrofoam
- Wire
- Cotton balls
- Liquid latex
- Paper Towels
- Acrylic paint
- Hot glue
