DIY lantern made of paper plates with moving wings
Yay, my new bat lantern is finished and I’m really excited to see how you like it 😉 I personally think it’s really cute because her wings are movable and she can wrap them around her body and get ready to sleep. Instead of a lantern stick, I simply used a branch with paper leaves glued to it, which the bat can then dangle comfortably from. There is another ready-made print template for you in two different plate sizes, which you can find in the material list.
Material list:
