Your visitors will shudder when they spot a bat-lined lampshade amid your decor. Some of the paper cutouts are suspended from threads, while others are stuck inside the shade.

Shivering Bats Shade How-To
Photocopy template to desired size; cut out. Using a white wax pencil, trace shape onto black construction paper; cut out. To suspend bats, make a ring from 20-gauge brass wire that fits just inside top of shade, resting on the shade spokes; a translucent white paper lampshade works best. Take a piece of white thread to bat; tie other end to ring. Repeat, hanging bats at varying heights and taping others to lampshade.
