You guys might know already that I like decorating with natural elements in my house. So if you’re looking for a rustic, eco-friendly Halloween craft, these corn husk bats are a simple and spooky project you can make in under an hour. I love how they bring that farmhouse-style vibe to fall decorating. They pair perfectly with other natural crafts, like my DIY paper moths and DIY paper leaves, and they look amazing whether you hang them indoors or outside under the porch lights.
Whether you want a farmhouse-style decoration or a kid-friendly classroom project, this step-by-step guide will show you how to make your own corn husk bats and how to decorate with them.
Materials you’ll need to make corn husk bats
- dried corn husks
- black string or embroidery floss (I used leftover black macrame yarn, but you can also dye cheap cord from the dollar store when you dye the corn husks)
- black fabric dye
- plastic gloves
- metal pot and metal spoon
- black towel or old rag
- scissors
- chop sticks
- clothing pins or pinning needles
- optional: styrofoam ball or wood bead with large center hole
- optional: googly eyes or rice corns for bat teeth
If you have a corn field close to you at the end of the growing season, then you can make this project for almost free!
