Halloween is just around the corner, so today I’m sharing a super easy Halloween craft idea and once again I’m using Duck Tape. What can I say? I love this stuff!

By making these cute DIY bats out of Duck Tape, they are weatherproof and perfect for outdoor Halloween decorating.
- They can be attached to skewers then stuck into the grass, planters or window boxes.
- They can be strung together on twine to make a cute garland.
- They can be attached to a window or door to make a flying flock of bats.
There are so many possibilities! And unlike paper bats, these ones will withstand any rain or snow that might happen. Yay!
To make your own Duck Tape bats, you will need:
Materials Needed
- Duck Tape (Black, Orange, Glow-in-the-Dark)
- Small Googly Eyes
- Hot Glue Gun + Glue Sticks
- Scissors
- Ruler

Step 1: Cut two 11 inch pieces of Duck Tape. Place the two pieces together, sticky sides together.
Step 2: Tie a knot in the Duck tape strip and keep pulling until the knot is tight and centered.
Step 3: Add googly eyes to the center knot using tiny dabs of hot glue.
Step 4: Use a pair of scissors to cut a scalloped bat wing shape on each side of the knot.
And there you have it… the cutest little bats for Halloween! Once you’ve made a few, you’ll be hooked. They’re so quick and easy and adorable!
