Different Bat Templates Available.

You’ll find various sizes and fun designs of stencils to choose from. 

If you’re aiming for something small-scale, consider the small bat template. The small bats can be easily printed and used as bat cut outs on Halloween cards or bookmarks. 

Use the large template for school projects where each student personalized their own bat. Hang them from the ceiling for school Halloween parties – imagine an entire flock of paper bats soaring across the room! 

Regardless of the bat shape you choose, they are perfect for easy bat crafts. Plus, there are various sizes to choose from. 

Larger Bat

 A creative way to use a large bat stencil is for a pumpkin carving stencil. Place the stencil onto your pumpkin, secure it firmly, then carefully carve along its edges with a sharp knife. 

This will result in an intricate design that will make your jack-o-lantern stand out from the rest.

The great thing about using stencils is that they make crafting so much easier and precise.

With a large bat stencil, even those who may not consider themselves particularly artistic can create impressive Halloween decorations effortlessly. 

​Medium Bat Templates

One cool idea is to use different materials besides paper for your bat template. 

Consider cutting out your template from felt or foam for a more durable option that can be used year after year.

Another idea is to incorporate glitter onto the plain, black bats for some added sparkle and pizzazz – let your imagination run wild!

Smaller Bats

Create a bat mobile using these small bat templates. 

Cut out several bats from black construction paper or cardstock and attach them with string or fishing line to a circular hoop or wooden dowel.

Hang the mobile in a corner of your room and watch as the bats appear to be flying through the air, creating an eerie effect at a Halloween party.

Another great use for small bat templates is creating spooky window clings.

Trace the template onto black contact paper or vinyl and cut out multiple bats. Then, simply press them against windows or glass surfaces for an instant decoration that can easily be removed without leaving any residue behind.

There are endless possibilities for Halloween crafting.

Printable Bat Outlines

You can print the free printable bats templates on various types of paper like cardstock or adhesive sheets, depending on your desired use. 

Cut out the shapes and customize them with glitter, paint, or even glow-in-the-dark elements for an extra eerie effect.

Attach strings to create hanging decorations or affix them directly onto surfaces with double-sided or masking tape. 

The possibilities are endless!

Young children will love coloring in the outlines or creating their own unique designs before cutting them out.

Bat Wing Templates

These templates allow you to create uniform and symmetrical bat wings.

Creating your own bat wings from scratch can be time-consuming and challenging, especially if you want each wing to be identical. That’s where the beauty of a bat wing template comes in. 

By using a template, you eliminate the guesswork and frustration with drawing uneven wings freehand. 

Consider experimenting with various materials like colored paper, cardboard, or felt fabric to give your bats different textures and effects. 

You could even get crafty by adding glitters, ribbons, or googly eyes for some extra spookiness! 

Add a haunted house and some scary trees for an extra scary scene.

Cute Vampire Bat
