🦇 4. Bat Wall Installations

Cut bats from felt in various sizes and tape them to walls, stairways, or even classroom doors. It's a dynamic, high-impact decoration that’s quick to make but adds a lot of character.

Felt is one of the most approachable materials for crafters and students alike. It doesn’t fray, comes in a wide range of colors, and is easy to cut, glue, or sew—making it perfect for both quick projects and more advanced prototypes.

At FabricLA, we carry a variety of felt thicknesses and colors in sheets and by the yard, making it easy to match your project’s scale and budget. Whether you’re preparing for a DIY workshop, making costume samples, or just decorating your space, the right felt can make all the difference.
