Bats are the most popular symbols of halloween and if you are planning on creating your own Halloween decorations, Halloween bat crafts are the easiest options. Like all other craft projects, Halloween bat crafts are as easy as you want them to be. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Using a egg carton is the easiest way of making a Halloween bat craft. First, cut out three adjacent egg cups together from the carton. Then, to make wings, cut the front portion of the outside egg cups. On the egg cup in the center, draw a face. Then, punch a hole at the top and pull a string or thread through it in order to hang it from the wall or anywhere you please. You can make it even more fancy by spray painting the bat black and pasting googly eyes on it for more effect.
Another suggestion for Halloween bat crafts would be to make a huge bat and hang it on your trees outside. First, take a huge black plastic garbage bag and a 2 litre empty soda bottle. Wrap the black bag around the soda bottle using black electric tape for making the bat’s body. In order to make the bat’s ears, punch two plastic bunches near the cap of the bottle and tie a rubber band around it.
Next, cut out fangs from the white plastic lid and tape it in place while affixing the eyes using red dot stickers. Take another trash bag, cut it open, and lay it flat. Cut bat wings out of this. Then, lay the wings flat and place a stick like a kabab stick right above the wing. Use electric tape to attach the stick to the three projecting points of the wings. Repeat the same procedure for the second wing and then careful stick both the wings to the body of the bat.
Just place the sticks across the tree branches in order to hang the bat. You secure the bat in place by using electric tape too in case you feel it is too windy or that the bat might fly away. You yard will be the scariest yard in the neighborhood if you hang these huge bats outside your house.
For other Halloween bat crafts you should search online. All you need to do is search for Halloween bat crafts on google and you will be met with a range of crafts that you can easily make for this occasion. So why wait? Collect your craft items and make your yard the most popular yard in your neighborhood for Halloween.

Hi, critique my few paragraphs really quick? Any opinions are greatttly appreciated!?
It’s a little long, but just read as much as you want to and critique what you read. It’s pretty rough.
It was October 31st, Halloween, 1:34am, and I didn’t have a costume. In the normal world, I would be looked at as too old for the juvenile holiday of Halloween. In the so-called “real world”, anyone with a scruffy beard like mine who is trick-or-treating is looked upon with suspicion. Of course, Woodson Visual Arts High School isn’t the normal world. WVAHS is basically all the freaks in the D.C. area thrown together in a big building. The whole student body is weirdoes. There’s no denying that. But much like a regular school, we have our hierarchy.
At the bottom of the totem pole there’s the art history crowd who can look at a painting, name the guy who painted it, tell how old they were when it was finished, and describe what sort of drugs the artist was on at the time. Hardly worth mentioning. Then there’s the artsy group. They’re basically art history nerds, but with actual talent. They can name the painting AND produce a perfect replica. Next in line are the future-director/producers-of America, who can constantly be seen walking around campus, video camera in hand (or tripod in tote, depending on the case.) These kids are usually the ones with berets, and fake plastic rimmed glasses, just to appear “eccentric” (in reality, they’re about as flamboyant as a dry bagel.) Some of them are actually good, but if you told them that, their already inflated heads might explode. Of course, I’m stereotyping here. Some are alright, but you never hear about them.
Higher up in the ranks are the photographers. To be a photographer at WVAHS, there are two rules you must follow. One, you must be seriously dedicated to your craft. All of us at WVAHS are some degree of dedicated, but the photographers are the only ones that lose sleep at night, wondering if the lighting on their photo was right. The second rule to live for photographers? You must only talk about photography. Don’t talk about the weather, music, your dog, whatever. Just photography.
At the top of WVAHS, are the actors/actresses, (such as myself.) I don’t know why we are the most popular. I suppose it’s because when you’re around a WVAHS actor, we ALWAYS put on a show. I suppose we’re entertaining to some. But to us, it’s what we do. I won’t complain about my popularity, though. I just bask in it. It suits me.
Who’s me, you ask? Oscar Nash, (formerly Eric Vaughan….everyone needs a stage name.) age seventeen, a skyscraper a 6’5”, actor extraordinaire.
An actor extraordinaire who doesn’t have a costume, which brings me back to my original point. Halloween. At Woodsen Visual Arts High School, it’s a big deal. Even the history heads get into a come as some obscure painter no one’s ever heard of who devoted their life to the art. (“Who are you supposed to be?” “Alice Troxell McCoun! Her use of color was simply astounding!”) At this point, at 1:30 in the morning, my options are looking bleak. I have to come up with something spectacular. And fast.

Um…. It’s a little confusing, boring, and really not interesting.

1. Periods go outside the parentheses (like so).
2. "Actors and actresses," not "actors/actresses."
Other than that, you look to be in good shape.

I like it. Good theme, it drew me in. (Not very many stories do that you know). It has a load of potential, keep writing!

I don’t think you need to repeat the WVAHS so much, as it is distracting, and readers will know to which organisation you are referring. Also a few spelling errors, otherwise your piece is intriguing and I for one would want to find out what Nash eventually chooses for his costume

This looks extremely fascinating! I want to see a little bit more personal details later on, perhaps about her social life less than her stereotype. If you write more of it, be sure to email me and I’ll critique it

Wow! Your writing style reminds me a lot of a creative writing course I took in college. I mean that in a good way. You may want to check some of your grammar though. For instance, you might want to change " Who’s me, you ask?" to "Who are you, you ask?.
