#6 Bat extravaganza!

Why not decorate your centerpiece with some bats? This simple DIY will not only take you little time, but it’s so easy you would ask yourself why haven’t you tried this before. Moreover, they are easy to take off, and you can reuse the materials for other crafts later as well!

Materials:

  • decorative twigs/branches (if needed)
  • black card stock (you can get some glittery ones too)
  • hot glue & hot glue gun
  • vase (if needed)

Instructions:

If you are a beginner or not really crafty, this one is for you. All you have to do is print a template of various-sized bats (or the same size if you like them to be even) and cut them out of your cardstock (you can even paint some cardboard black if you think that’s easier), and then hot glue them to some twigs and branches you found outside on a walk! Or even some you got from the dollar store. All that’s left to do is put them in a vase on a table, and you have the spookiest entry!

And the best thing yet? You can even do this outside on some of the bushes or tiny trees around your porch. Just make sure you don’t get hot glue on the branches, and everything will be okay. You can glue the edges of two bats together around the branches so they stay in place.
