1.you can draw you own batarang if you fill really artistic or print out the template above like i have done

2.glue or draw template on card with any glue you like i have used p.v.a which takes quit a wile to dry

3. then cut out you should use a knife so you dont crush the cardboard

looks quite cool at the moment but because your a part of the instructables community you want it to be to perfection looks real and flys like the real thing hopefully!!

2.make the paste you'll need 50/50 ratio of glue to water

3.paint the batarang with you p.v.a paste

4.put the news paper on you cool batmerang then paint the paste on it again you should d about 4-5 layers of paper mache

5.let dry so its ready paint

Painting

now where going to paint the batarang look like the most epic prop ever

1 let the batarang dry completely

2.paint 2-3 coats of black alyic paint so its harder to see the lines in the paper

3. if you want you can dry brush the edges in silver but i won't do this becase batarangs are fully black most of time on the movies. dry brushing is where you put some paint on a flat ended brush then wipe off off on some kitchen roll and paint the prop. have fun with you new prop hahaahaaaaha happy Halloween!!
