Batty Lampshade

I know Halloween is just around the corner and time is definitely running out for fun Halloween crafts but this is so simple and quick to do, but looks so cool!

Cut out some bats from plain white paper and tape them to the inside of your lampshade. During the day the bats are hardly visible (if at all) but when night falls and you turn the lamp on, suddenly a colony of bats is flying across the lamp shade!

My favorite part is that if you only use a small piece of tape on the body of the bat, the wings aren’t pressed up against the lamp shade and the effect it gives makes it look like the bats are flying! This is definitely not my favorite lamp in the world and I highly doubt I’ve ever smiled at it this much, but it’s a fun way to dress up what you already have :).
