Bat Garland - EasyPeasy - Weekend Craft

i love to create

and this one is a no brainer

but incase you need a little guidance 

i hope this helps

***

we started with martha stewarts bat template

we traced our pattern onto black card stock over and over

and cut. and cut. and cut.

keep in mind, it doesn't have to be perfect

some of our bats have cropped ears :)

no craft around here is perfect

for us, that is the beauty of it

after cutting lots and lots of bats out

we took our old school elmers glue 

and polka dotted amd striped em' with silver/purple glitter

at first i tried taping them to the jute but they were to heavy

and kept flopping over

so we got a hole punch

punched a hole in the top of the bat 

and tied them to the jute/ribbon

with come curly ribbon

super easy. 

it added some color too

and because we have so much ribbon in this house

i decided to add different ribbons to it

by just tying them onto the jute in knots

now it's not done

we will be adding more ribbon

but i wanted to give you the heads up

so you can gather your supplies 

and have some fun cutting and creating this project together

and that's not all

what til' the girls get home from school each day

they'll be finding bats all over

the house

it's going to be

a little

batty

around here
