When it comes to decorating for Halloween, I find myself giving each room it's own theme. Dracula always ends up in my bathroom, witches congregate in my kitchen, ghosts mingle in the living room & well, you get the point. But I've always wanted to find something to tie them all together.
These Cardstock Bats are now flying all over my house!
How To:
These Cardstock Bats are now flying all over my house!
How To:
•Take a piece of black cardstock (mine was 12x12in.) & fold it in half diagonally (doing this will give you a bigger wingspan).
•With a pencil, draw out half of your bat shape. I did mine freehand, but you can always Google a template to use.
•Cut out your bat & lay it out flat.
•On the back fold, apply three bits of folded tape & adhere it to the wall.
•For a three dimensional look, carefully fold the wings outward.
I think I am going to do this tonight... I watch a special needs adult, and I think it would be fun to decorate for the holiday tomorrow. He would love it!

ReplyDeleteHow sweet are these? I usually find candy corn (real, fake, paper, glass) all over my house. These would be perfect as a window or lamp shade decoration!
