Polystyrene Bat

       
Ready to fly! We've covered and decorated flat polystyrene shapes with foam clay, then made wings from foam rubber and finally added legs made from pipe cleaners.

1. Cover and decorate the polystyrene shapes with foam clay.

2. Cut the wings out of foam rubber following a template. "Glue" on with foam clay. 

3. Attach the hanging string with foam clay.

4. Make the legs and claws from pipe cleaners and stick into the body. Leave to dry.
