TECHNIQUES:
make a "mobil" with the bats' flight

1) with cutter and black cardboard get the shapes
2) if you want to make many of them - and have a scrollsaw - cut a stack
3) from steel wire for springs (dia 0,5 - 0,6 mm) cut little bows

and with a plier make little rings at ends
4) make a fold in the middle of the bats' shapes and glue a piece of black sewing thread
5) bind the bats to the eyelets of the steel bows


6) then bind another thread in the balance point and fix with a little drop of glue
7) complete the "mobil" assuring that bows can turn freely without stumbling into one another
8) now hang the whole to the chandelier and scream in terror at the sight of the small portable nightmare that you just created.



...but it is not the case, the bats are lovely and harmless creatures, unless you're a mosquito.
