Tips for Printing the Bat Templates
Here are some tips for making the bat template printable work for you:
- Adjust the scale in the print window for even more sizes. Need smaller bats? Adjust the scale percentage down so that the bat patterns print smaller.
- Mix and match different sizes and styles of the bats for your DIY Halloween decor.
- Print the templates on card stock for sturdier patterns. I find it easier to trace a template that has been printed on a thicker paper, because it’s less likely to wrinkle or move against the pressure of the pencil.
- For colored bat decor, you can print directly on colored card stock and then just cut out the bats. For instance, print the bats on neon green, bright orange, or purple card stock and make a festive Halloween banner for your fireplace.
