Dress up your Halloween party with these fun spooky bat paper crafts. This two layered design is easily cut with any Cricut cutting machine. These fun DIY Halloween cake topper decorations work well as cake toppers or extra decorations for the candy bowl. My 5 yr old loves the pink bats and added them to her kindergarten class goodie bags.
I used foil cardstock to give my DIY party decoration bats extra shine. Along with an acrylic cake pop stick, these DIY Halloween cake Toppers would be the perfect addition to cupcakes.

Here's what you'll need to make DIY Halloween cake toppers with Cricut
How to make DIY Halloween cake toppers with Cricut
To get started making the DIY Halloween cake toppers with Cricut, upload the free SVG cut file into Cricut Design Space and adjust the size as needed. I cut my toppers at 4 inches wide. You can adjust the colors of each layer so it is easy to know which color of cardstock to use for each Cricut mat.
Once you have the design sized and colors set, click Make It to send the DIY Halloween cake toppers to Cricut. Select the material you are using. If you can’t find the type of cardstock you need, select browse materials on the Cricut Maker or switch the dial to custom for Cricut Explore Air models, and search for the type of cardstock you are using.
I love using the spatula from the Cricut Basic tools to help remove cardstock from the Cricut mat. If the cardstock is difficult to come off the mat, flip the mat over and peel the mat away from the cardstock instead of peeling the cardstock off the mat.
Reverse tweezers are super helpful with paper crafts because they do not need constant pressure to stay secure. Reverse tweezers are part of the Cricut Basic Tool set.
Use a paper craft glue with a precision tip to add small dabs of glue on the back of the top layer for your DIY Halloween cake topper bat.
Layer the top design onto the solid bottom layer.
Use hot glue to secure a clear acrylic lollipop stick to the back of your DIY Halloween cake toppers.
