Glittery Halloween Bats!!

These Halloween Bats were made possible

by my very good (and crafty!) girlfriend, Laura ...

... because she supplied me with the awesome

triangular bat bodies cut on her amazing

saw by her crafty self, and then she even base

coated them!!!  So, if you're starting

from scratch, cut the cute little bat shape

(which is basically a triangle pennant shape with

bulging eyeballs ...)

I sanded the edges to remove some

of the paint ('cause that's what I like to do)

and I added Extreme Glitter Gold

to their eyeballs ('cause that's another thing

I like to do) ...

I sketched out a bat wing shape on tracing

paper, then laminated it and trimmed

the edges so I could use it like a stencil.

I took one sheet of black self-adhesive felt

and one sheet of black glitter felt,

and adhered them together to give the

wings some weight.

I love glitter felt!

Who invented this stuff??

A genius, I say.

I used my white chalk pencil to

outline the bat wings on the black felt.

I love how the glittery eyes

are all matchy-matchy with the glittery wings.

I used one floral wire stem as the hanger.

I looped the ends together

and "sandwiched" them between the bat

body and the bat wings.

The eyes are two small Woodsies

wood circles - painted

black and then Extreme Glitter-ed,

of course.  ;)

Super cute!!  Love these bats!

Thanks, Laura!!
