Recently I shared our annual Halloween pumpkin carving party and I promised to share the DIY for all the fun balloon crafts I created. Today I’m sharing how to make this simple DIY wall of balloon bats. Also, I’m giving you my free bat templates!
Now to make this simple wall of balloon bats, you’ll need:
- Balloon Time helium tank
- Black balloons
- Bat template downloads, Full Bat Templates in various sizes and Balloon Bat Costume Template {wink}
- Clear tape
- Optional: Lightweight black craft paper if you’d like to use as template instead of printing bats
Tip: The helium will keep your balloons top side and make them hold away from the wall instead of hanging down.
And now the simple DIY for the balloon bats wall:
- Cut – Start by using my template and cut out as many bats as you’d like to create your wall. There are multiple sizes plus the bat costume template.
- Helium – Hold the template and blow the balloon up inside the template so that it swells around the paper and holds it.
- Attach to wall – Now that your bat is floating a bit, tape the tie end of the balloon to the wall. If you use regular clear tape there will be no wall damage.
This wall was simple to create and makes a great backdrop to help set the mood for your Halloween bash! See in the images below how it adds depth to the party space.
You can see my balloon jack-o-lantern placecards above. Later, I’ll share with you how to make the easy balloon pumpkin patch, perfect for picking. Trust me, the kids will love the little balloon pumpkin patch and they’ll love it even more when you let them “pick” some to take home. {grin}
When crafting with balloons, you need and WANT your helium right in the craft room. Balloon Time is the answer. It makes creating and testing your ideas before the party super easy. And by the way, it’s much more economical than running to the party store!
