Easy Bat Ornaments

 


If you are anything like me you are always behind in decorating for holidays.  

So today I am going to be showing you how to create some cute, quick, & 

easy bat ornaments to hang around your house for Halloween fun!


All you need is:

Creative Paperclay

Acrylic paint - black and white

Knife

Rolling pin

Bat template or cookie cutter



Take about ¼ of a package of Creative Paperclay and using your rolling pin

 (You can substitute a drinking glass if you don’t have a craft rolling pin) 

\flatten out the clay.  


Once the clay is flattened as thick as you would like your ornament to be

 use either a bat shaped cookie cutter or bat template (I’m crafty so I drew a

 bat but you can also easily search for one online to use.  Mix up a couple 

different ones for variety too!) to cut out your bats.  Go for one or make a 

whole family of bats!



After cutting the bats out smooth out the edges using your fingers and 

a wet paper towel.  Put one or two holes in your bats using a pencil or needle.  

One hole if you want them to hang down and two for a more realistic flying bat.


Let them dry out for a day or two!  

To really give the bats character dry them over your rolling pin for a flying bat.


Now let’s paint!

Go for plain black or get creative and add a little shading.



Time to hang them.  Put a little string or yarn through the holes and hang 

them up next to a window or make a bat corner.  


Thanks for joining and Have fun and share what you create with us below!  

We would love to see where you hang your bats!

Find your Joy!
