Halloween is coming up fast and I am in love with Vampires and Bats this year. This is a fun Bat craft that can be used as a toy or hang them up for a cute Halloween Decoration. They would look great hung in grouping showing off their unique wings.

Toilet Paper Roll Crafts are so much fun to do. You get to take an everyday object that gets thrown away and turn it into a masterpiece! Be sure to check out these other Toilet Paper Roll Crafts:

Glue white triangles upside down on the TP Roll Bat.

Cut out two triangles from a white piece of paper. Glue the triangles underneath the eyes.

Color in coffee filter with water color markes.

Once the Bat's body is completed it is now time to make the wings. To do this I used a coffee filter. Color it in with washable makers. I recommend placing a piece of paper underneath the coffee filter so that the markers do not bleed onto your table.


I always keep coffee filters stocked in my home and I don't even drink coffee. I keep them on hand for crafts! They are so much fun to create with. Check out these other coffee filter crafts...



Spraying the colored coffee filters with water.

Take a spray bottle filled with water and spray the coffee filter that has been colored on. Because you used washable markers, the colors will begin to bleed together. Allow enough time for the coffee Filter to dry completely.



Example of how to fold and cut coffee filter.

Fold the dry coffee filter in half three times. Using scissors cut a scallop edge. Depending on your child's age, you might need to help them with this part.

Unfold the coffee filter.

Unfold the filter so that is just has one fold. It should look like this.
