What You Need*

How to Craft This Bat Halloween Card

1. Cut the Clay Cardboard and Glue It

On the black clay cardstock, draw the dimensions of your card with a fine pencil. For the fold-out card, measure a 14.5 cm x 9.5 cm rectangle using a set square. Then cut it out and fold it exactly in the middle of the long side to form a card.

Next, cut a rectangle from the orange cardstock that measures 12.5 cm by 7.5 cm. Glue this to the center of the front of the card using paper glue.

2. Print Out the Bat Template and Your Text

Download here the bat template, print it out and cut out the bat as accurately as possible. Now you can use it as a template.

Tip: Print the template best on thick paper.

Write your desired text for the front in a suitable font, we have chosen in the example Gypsy Curse in size 33 pt.

By the way, on this page you can find many free Halloween fonts for download. If you choose a different font, make sure when you print out the text that it is the right size for your card.

Tip: If you’re not sure, scale your text document on screen to exactly the size of an A4 sheet of paper by holding it next to it. This way you can see exactly how big the font can be.

3. Cut Out the Bat and Speech Bubble for Your Bat Halloween Card

Place the bat template on the black cardstock, outline it with a fine pencil, and cut it out. If you’re making several cards of the same kind, do it the same number of times.

Cut out the printed text in the form of a speech bubble.

4. Glue Everything In Place
