Welcome to the first Mundane to Macabre Monday episode of the season! In this dark DIY project, I transform a cute bat skeleton prop from At Home Stores into a mummified Vampire bat taxidermy gaff suitable to use as a spooky Halloween decoration.. or as an addition to any oddity collection or curiosity cabinet. Either way, spooky DIY is the name of the game today!

Great video…making a bat gaffe that is better than the real thing!
I'll definitely be trying this one
I’m so excited for new DIY videos!!! Those are my favourite!🖤
Not first
MUMMIFIED VAMPIRE BAT 🦇 DIY THAT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR MY HALLOWEEN 🎃WEDDING DAY AND 🥂ANNIVERSARY PARTY.
Amaziiing, I do have soft spot for bats and skulls..Cant have enought of them and there is not to muuuch.Muhaaa,ha,ha..
Well, In other case, If you ask my husband..😅
A Voltaire museum of oddities would be incredible even/especially if filled with purely GH creations
Look 👀 good 🧛🏼🧛🏼🧛🏼🦇🦇🦇🦇
The result is amazing) Looks like a movie prop)
I totally agree with the adorable little rat! "YEA"!! Crafting!!! 🎃💝🎃
I'll order the book when my wallet will see some better days.
Looks incredible!!!
Yeah, I hate when I'm minding my own business and then trip over a random skeleton. 😂😂😂
I missed hearing "I painted it black." 💝
Love your home. Your videos are great!
That looks so cool!
❤ YOU DADDY ❤
So cool! Can't wait to get the book!🐈⬛️👻🪄
Dead serious*
Now I need to make like 50 to decorate my room 😂
Happy Spooky Season friend
Did Orville get some work done? Because his skin is so tight already I don’t know if it could handle Botox
Very cool concept. Your book is awesome and glad I purchased it to add to my Macabre book collection. 🦇💜
Spooktacular🦇🎃🖤
He looks Fangtastic! Almost looks crispy! Wait, are his feet facing backwards?? 😬🤭😁
🖤🦇🖤Great mummified bat. Looks realistic and very easy to do. Great idea for a lair. Have a spooky day everyone.🖤🦇🖤
The bat- pardon, the vampire looks great! I need to try this! 🦇 Thank you for the inspo!
holy guacamole, I have this bat, man…
You could also use latex 🙂
aureilo voltaire you are my favorite song artist you are the best in the world I love you videos songs and you are the best
I never thought much of those skeleton animals, but now I see what you can do with them with a little imagination.
Oh Voltaire, you have such a way with words….
I missed these videos so glad you’re doing them again
I wonder if somebody still drinking a shot of Rum or other alcoholic beverage every time when he says painted black?
Darkness in the shadows. Great line.
Could be a gothic novel.
Ah, yes, the perfect episode to watch whist eating dinner, particularly the part where you're describing tripping over the desiccated corpse.
Seriously, though, the bat looks great, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have in store coming up.
🖤🧡
Thanks for the video 💀🦇
Heart my comment Voltaire! ❤
It looks so good! I almost can't believe its a DIY project lol
The King of Macabre Halloween has RETURNED!!!
Love This prop!🖤🦇
OMGGGG
Dang Norville was Dead serious with that question haha got a dad joke 🤣
💜💜💜🌒🌕🌘💜💜💜
The heart of gothic homemaking: gaffes
👍🏽👍🏽
I love this! I don't have a heat gun so I might try it with tissue paper soaked in glue and water, like a very thin paper mache.
