These DIY bat lights are a fun way to add Halloween decor to your home. Hang these Halloween bat lights on a mantle, in a window, around a wreath, on a shelf, bookcase, and more! I love decorating with Halloween bats so I made these cute lights using minimal craft supplies. Keep reading and watch the video to learn how to make these DIY Halloween String Lights!
I used my Cricut Maker machine to cut the bats. Get access to my Make it Now link within the post.
I cut 20 Bats to use on a 7-ft white string light strand (I found my in stores during Christmas).
Place 2 bats together. Open one wing side and add glue. Take your time since this is a very small area to apply the glue. Press the wings together to glue them.
Open the tails and hot glue them together, leaving enough space for the light to be inserted to the tip of the tail.
Open the other wing and hot glue that together. Do not hot glue the head.
Create the opening in the bat head to insert the light bulb.
Use a small dab of hot glue on the plastic part of the light bulb and press the head of the bat into it (this will help keep the bat attached to the lights).
