I cut the wing shapes out of foam board and rolled them up a bit by crunching up the foam in my hands, to give them the curved shape. I decided to apply paper mach\u00e9 on the wings by themselves before they&#8217;re attached to the body; it&#8217;s easier to handle them when they&#8217;re separate like this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/my-paper-mache-method\/\">here&#8217;s<\/a> some info about my paper mach\u00e9 process and materials.

(I cleaned that side of the trash can with some Windex first!) So, I applied six layers of paper mach\u00e9 onto the back side of the wings, all in one go. When they were completely dry (the sun really sped this up), I took them off the trash can and did the other side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-05.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - adding the finger bones\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made the ridges for the finger bones out of thin strips of foam board that I cut and taped in place.

I did this on both sides of both wings.<\/p>\n<h2>Ears<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-06.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-06.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - cutting out the ear shapes\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-07.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - cutting out the front of the ears\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next: the bat&#8217;s ears. I traced the shapes from my printout onto foam board and cut them out. I made a plan to build the rounded back part of the ears first.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-08.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-08.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - building up the back of the ears\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took the flat foam board cut-out and added a few more layers of foam board. Each layer gets a little bit smaller to create an approximation of a rounded shape. I covered these shapes with masking tape (not shown) and then with a slightly larger piece of this soft craft foam, curved around the shape and taped in place. When that was done I covered the whole thing with shipping tape. Shipping tape acts as a release agent for paper mach\u00e9; all this junk has gotta come out in a bit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-09.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-09.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - craft foam on the back of the ears\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-10.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - paper mache on the ears\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I covered these back parts of the ears with six layers of paper mach\u00e9.

I did this with <em>a ton<\/em> of hot glue applied to the tabs of the wings. I also glued another panel of foam board over the chest and the tabs of the wings together, so they&#8217;re glued in on both sides. I was pleased with how nice and sturdy they felt right away.<\/p>\n<p>I then built up some shapes for the ribs\/chest, stomach, pelvis, etc, with pieces of craft foam. I covered all this with four layers of paper mach\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-18.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-18.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - building the chest\/ribs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not shown: I made the collar for the cape out of some foam board and paper mach\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>I also added little feet and thumbs, both made of tiny pieces of foam board, covered in even tinier pieces of paper mach\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h2>Bow<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-22.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - craft foam for the bow\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-23.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-23.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - bow finished\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made the bow out of strips of craft foam which I pinched and taped\/hot-glued to create those little folded-looking shapes. I made up this technique when I was making the bow for my <a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/pumpkin-night-custom-paper-mache-mask\/\">Pumpkin Night mask<\/a>. The bow for this here bat is five separate pieces all glued together \u2014 the left loop, the right loop, the two hang-y bits, and the little piece wrapped around the middle.<\/p>\n<h2>Letters<\/h2>\n<p>I need two sets of &#8220;CRYPTIQUE&#8221; letters, one for the front of the bat and one for the back. And I wanted each letter to be two layers; a black background layer and a light blue front later. So I cut out four copies of the letters in all: two slightly larger sets from foam board and two smaller sets from craft foam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-24.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-24.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - cutting out the letters\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-25.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-25.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - assembling the letters\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I covered the foam board letters with one layer of paper mach\u00e9. No need for paper mach\u00e9 on the craft foam cut-outs.<\/p>\n<h2>Broomstick<\/h2>\n<p>This is boring but I extended this hollow metal broom stick a bit by inserting a thick wooden dowel into it, taping it in place with tons of heavy duty packing tape, and then adding six layers of paper mach\u00e9 around the connection. This is so the pole can be a bit longer; the metal part will be exposed and the wooden down will be inserted into the bat.<\/p>\n<h2>Painting the body and letters<\/h2>\n<p>I painted the head and body separately to make it easier to get at all the little shapes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-19.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-19.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - spray gesso\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I first applied one coat of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FV1zss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krylon spray gesso<\/a> (paid link) on everything: the head, the body, the bow, and the letters. Of course I did one side of all the pieces, laid them down to dry, and then flipped &#8217;em over and did the other side. You can see I left some of the paper mach\u00e9 exposed where I&#8217;ll be gluing everything together.<\/p>\n<p>I let the gesso set for 24 hours, and then I painted all of the shapes and details of the bat by hand with acrylic paint and various brushes. This took several days and about four coats of paint in most places.<\/p>\n<p>For the letters, after the gesso, I spray painted the background parts black, and I hand-painted the front parts with a light blue acrylic paint.<\/p>\n<p>Once I was done painting everything, I connected the main parts of the bat; I glued the head onto the body with Gorilla Glue, and I hot-glued the bow in place.<\/p>\n<h2>Teeth and tongue<\/h2>\n<p>I made the tongue out of a couple layers of craft foam and covered it with two layers of paper mach\u00e9. The teeth are just craft foam, no paper mach\u00e9. Gluing the teeth into the mouth was a little complicated! I made little supports for the backs of the teeth out of poster board and hot-glued everything together.<\/p>\n<h2>Attaching the letters<\/h2>\n<p>I also hot-glued all of the craft foam letters onto the thicker foam board bases.<\/p>\n<p>I knew the flat letters wouldn&#8217;t sit perfectly on the irregular shape of the bat, so I added some pieces of foam on the backs of the letters, placed strategically to create as much surface area as possible for gluing. I hot-glued the letters in place with tons of glue to make the connections as strong as possible; I don&#8217;t want &#8217;em getting knocked off!<\/p>\n<p>I inserted the broomstick into the bat but didn&#8217;t glue it in; it holds on pretty well without glue, and I&#8217;d rather keep the pieces separate for easier storage.<\/p>\n<p>I sprayed the whole bat sculpture with a coat of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3loqZFr\">Krylon Satin Crystal Clear spray<\/a> (paid link). I usually use matte spray but while painting the bat with matte acrylic I decided that for something so colorful and festive it might look better with a little bit of shine. I have some gloss spray but I thought that might be overkill. The satin spray turned out to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-20.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-20.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - painted and finished!\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-21.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cryptique-bat-standard-21.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptique bat standard - back view\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>All done!<\/h2>\n<p>Whew!
