I just used some plywood and cut out this bat. I added some halloween lights to the back.

- Insert 120v neon red lamps for eyes

-Wrap your led color changing lights on the back

*** If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring you could just use the last two bulbs on led lights for the eyes!

Lights Change From Orange to Purple
