How to make a BAT costume
By bigpumpkin | November 9, 2009
If you’re ever needing a cost effective costume, this would be it. We got two of Tee’s A2 art block and tore off the backing cardboard, searched the internet to check what bat wings looked like, then drew a sample onto the cardboard, cut it out with a sharp pen knife, then painted it both sides with black paint.
We then cut out holes strategically to tie ribbons onto the bat wings so they could be attached to Tee’s arms but after tying them onto her arms, we discovered that the wings didn’t sit well at the back so we had to tie another ribbon to hold the wings together across her back.
.
This is what it looks like in the front.
We also used the same card board to cut out bat ears and glued it onto a black hairband. Throw on some black clothes and you’re done. VOILA!
Here’s our Tee in her BAT cum Ben10 pose.
And the finished product…..

very nice! I have seen one on the internet, where they used black umbrella (material removed fr. the stick) as the wings. It looked nice too but too troublesome to make! Plus, it’s not like everyone has an old torn black umbrella readily available to be made into bat wings.. or do they?
