The Skeleton Fairy πŸ’€πŸ§šπŸ»β€β™€οΈ or vampire bat skeleton πŸ’€πŸ¦‡ 
craft is straightforward and as easy as pumpkin pie! πŸ₯§

The supplies needed are not complicated either

  1. * plastic skeleton

  2. * fairy wings OR * rubber bat wings

  3. * tacky glue or glue of your preference

Directions: Add some glue to the skeleton's back/ along its spine, then add the wings. I used dragonfly wings and doubled them up to make the wings fuller and fluttery.

These fairy skeletons are super cute to add to your Halloween home décor.


I added some fairy skeletons to my staircase handrail.

These little skeletons can add a bit of Halloween whimsy to your home.

Get creative and place them throughout your home!

Vampire Bat Skeleton

For an edgier twist on this project, add bat wings! It takes a little bit more work, but I think it is totally worth it!

First, use some scissors to cut/de-wing the bat. Then glue a wing along each side of the spine. *Note, you may need to use something to stabilize the rubber bat wings while the glue dries. 

After the glue dries, then ta-da, you are done! You created an edgy vampire bat-winged skeleton. 

Speaking of Vampires, who is watching What We Do In The Shadows? I LOVE this show! It’s quirky, original, and 100% binge-worthy!
