Bat Antenna Buddy

Difficulty: Average

Parental supervision is recommended

Black craft foam becomes high-flying fun with this easy bat antenna buddy for the car.

What you'll need:

  • Black craft foam
  • Scissors
  • Pen (gel pens may show up better)
  • Pattern (see below)
  • 2 (15 mm) wiggle eyes
  • Hot glue gun or low temp glue gun
  • Hole punch
  • Glitter paint, optional

How to make it:

  1. Print pattern below for the bat:
    For the PC (90 dpi) - For the Mac (72 dpi)
     
  2. Cut out the pattern.
  3. Trace around the pattern on the white craft foam. Cut out.
    Note: You may have to try different marking devices until you find one that will write on black craft foam.
  4. Glue  eyes on bat.
  5. Hole punch two holes down the middle of the bat (hole punch once from the top/head and then again from the bottom).
  6. Paint with glitter paint as shown in the image.
  7. Place on your antenna decoration by weaving back and forth through the holes.

Tips:

I would recommend placing the bat low on the antenna so it's close to your car.
