Bat Silhouette Lamps

This was a fun one to make.  There wasn't much set up or clean up, and it turned out pretty cool.
I would rate this as "duo".  The only hard part it cutting something out that looks like a bat, and you need to have the right kind of lamp for this to work.

Materials:
~Cereal box
~Scissors
~Masking tape
~Lamp (see step 3)

Step 1: Cut open your cereal box.
Step 2: Cut bats out of your cereal box.  If you want, you could print out an outline of a bat and trace around that.

Step 2:  Tape them to the inside of your lamp with masking tape.  Your lamp shade: a) has to be big enough to tape bats in, b) has to be thin enough so you can see a clear silhouette through it, and c) has to be a solid color (can't have any decorations).

Step 3 (my favorite step!):  Turn off all of the lights and turn on the lamp!

I saw this idea at Decorismo.
