Booker Candle Holders
We love our bats. We reuse them year after year and they have held up great. My kids love making the design as to which way they are flying on the wall. We've used them inside for the most part but also outside sometimes.
Halloween Bats Wall Decor - 3D
We hang our hats out every year. Some on our front porch and others in a tree. They look really cool and you just use fishing wire so they look like they are floating.
