MATERIAL

Black cellular rubber (accessible in sheets or a role in most craft stores)
-Template (which you download right here)


-Mounting adhesives -Scissors -White carbon paper + pen (optional)

Note: I use black foam rubber, due to the fact it is fundamentally weatherproof, and I can see the bats reuse year after year. It's also good that there are the bats a tiny depth. But you are employing black paper or as numerous other components too! -Erica, Yes Ma'am

NOTES

This is 1 of my favourite decoration projects for 1 of my preferred holidays. I constantly ask individuals how to do it, and it is so incredibly simple and exciting

Step 1: Load print the bat and graphics. (I like to print in different sizes and orientations to get as a lot selection as achievable.)

Step two: There are two methods you can get transfer the bats on the foam: After you have the printing bats, you can either cut it out and trace them, or you can use transfer paper and pencil. I've identified that some foams are resistant to the tracing paper. For the foam I use here, I have a chalk marker to track the bats, but you can do every thing using make a mark on the foam

Step 3: As soon as you pulled your bats, cut them with scissors. The foam pieces incredibly lightweight. I do not even attempt to be here Super choosy and alternatively to side with the markings as a back

Step four :. Accept the structural adhesives on the back sides of each and every chop (I attempt to be pretty liberal here, so I do not run the threat that they will fall down), and stick them on your surface.

It's that straightforward! (Our property is painted brick, and I have done this project for years, but I've in no way had a dilemma with these adhesives fall out or remove the color if I had after Halloween, take them down.)

Hope you appreciate + Happy Halloween
