Idea 4: Cascading Bat Archway Over Door Frames
Setup Method
Framing interior door openings with a cascading paper bat installation creates an immersive transitional element between living spaces during the seasonal months. Fold forty black cardstock sheets in half to cut symmetrical bat profiles featuring varied wing spans ranging between three and eight inches wide. Using a light-pencil guide line, map a subtle crescent curve starting from the lower right base of the door casing, climbing vertically up the trim, and expanding across the top lintel. Secure the larger bat cutouts along the outer edge of the wooden trim using clear mounting putty to prevent paint peel. Cluster the medium and smaller bats tightly over the upper left corner of the frame, tapering the installation down the opposite side in a delicate trailing line.
