This craft is easy enough for kids of all ages to make, and a great way to get into the Halloween spirit.

Headbands for Crafting

Choose a headband color that contrasts with your black bats for maximum visibility.
For a group activity, buy bulk headbands made for crafting.
For a higher quality headband, look in the hair accessories section for multipacks.

3D Bat Stickers

Black 3D bat stickers are a great way to add a spooky and festive touch to your Halloween crafts.

They come in packs with assorted sizes and bat shapes, so you can find the perfect stickers for your homemade headband craft.

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 like regular stickers, you will 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 crafts.

Here are a few great options:

Double-sided foam tape: This is the most common type of adhesive that is used with 3D bat stickers. It is easy to use and provides a strong bond. Most 3D bat stickers come with double-sided foam tape included in the package.
Glue dots: Glue dots are a convenient and easy-to-use adhesive option. They are also very strong and will hold your 3D bat stickers securely in place. I used glue dots for my Halloween bat headband craft and they worked perfectly.
School glue or tacky craft glue: This is a good option if you don’t have double-sided foam tape or glue dots on hand. However, it is important to note that school glue and tacky craft glue will take longer to dry than double-sided foam tape or glue dots.
