Hair Clips for Bat-tastic Crafting
To make your bat hair clips truly stand out, choose a jaw clip color that contrasts with your black bats.
For example, when you’re using black bats, try using a light color or something very bright.
This will help your bats really pop!
You’ll also want to look for a clip with a smooth surface, so you can easily attach the bats.
Avoid clips with too much texture, as this can make it difficult to get the bats to adhere properly.
3D Bat Stickers
Black 3D bat stickers are the perfect way to add a spooky and festive touch to your Halloween hair clips.
They come in packs with assorted sizes and bat shapes, so you can find the perfect stickers for your hair-raising creation.
You can choose between 3D bat stickers made from stiff paper or PVC.
Both types of stickers have lines to show you where to fold to give the bats their 3D shape.
Since 3D bat stickers aren’t sticky all over, you’ll need to use adhesive to stick them on.
Adhesives for 3d Bat Stickers
There are a few different types of adhesives that you can use to stick 3D bat stickers to your Halloween hair clips.
Here are a few great options:
- Double-sided foam tape: This is the most popular type of adhesive for 3D bat stickers because it’s easy to use and provides a strong bond. Most 3D bat stickers come with double-sided foam tape included in the package, so you’re all set!
- Glue dots: Glue dots are another convenient and easy-to-use adhesive option. They’re also very strong, so you can be sure your bats will stay put. Plus, they’re perfect for smaller projects like bat hair clips.
- School glue or tacky craft glue: This is a good option if you don’t have any double-sided foam tape or glue dots on hand. Just keep in mind that school glue and tacky craft glue will take longer to dry, so be patient!
