8. Removable Bat Swarm Wall

A porch wall and doorway covered with dozens of black paper bats in a swirling pattern

A swarm of paper bats racing up your porch wall is high impact for almost zero dollars. Cut them in three sizes, arrange them in a loose swirling path bursting out of the doorway, and peel them off when Halloween ends.

What You’ll Need

  • Black cardstock or craft foam
  • Bat templates in 3 sizes
  • Removable adhesive dots

How to Make

  1. Cut 20-40 bats in small, medium, and large sizes.
  2. Fold each bat slightly down the middle so wings lift off the wall.
  3. Plan a swarm path: dense near the door, spreading outward.
  4. Stick large bats near the door, smaller ones toward the edges.
