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!
