This bat box goes together quick and easily for a fast Halloween gift box or easy party decoration.
Box Bottom Vs. Top Assembly Note
The bottom and the top of the box go together the same way and are only different in two ways, the lid is a little bit larger (so it can fit over the bottom) and there are a couple decorative pieces that go on the lid.
Making the Bat Box Sides
To start with, we laid out the pieces for the bottom of the box then we attached the long panels end to end to create the shape shown below.
Adding The Bat Shape
With this shape created, we folded the remaining tabs on the bottom out, and slid the bat shape with the opening in the center over to top. We slid the bat down close to the tabs then added glue to the longest tab and pressed the bat into place. With this long tab secure it makes it easier to glue the rest in place. We added glue to a couple tabs at a time and secured them before moving on until all tabs were glued in place.
Next, we added glue around the bat, making sure to get some close to the opening and all the pointed tips, then we added the solid bat shape to close off the box shape.
Repeat
We then repeated this process for the lid of the bat. Everything is exactly the same except the box shape (and therefore the hole in the bat) is a tiny bit larger, allowing the lid to slide over the bottom of the box. Once we completed assembly of the lid of the bat box, we added the bat’s eyes and mouth to finish off the box.
