DIY project: Bats (with FREE template)

It's almost Halloween!!! So I decided to make some decorations. As you all know I looooooove bats ;). Today was a rainy day so the perfect day for some crafting :).

This is what you need:

-black yarn
-black cardboard paper
-scissors
-pencil
-pomp-pon maker (I used the clover 65 mm but ofcourse you could also do without, as long as your finished pompon will be about 6,5 cm)
-Template bats (scroll down)
-a nice hot cup of coffee (the most important part of this DIY project I thing :) )

I am sure you all know how to use your pom-pon maker, but just in case (I had a difficult time myself figuring it out) here is some help;

After you pompon is finished, you will need a template, so here it is:

just click on the picture and print!

Now use these instructions:

Now it is time to insert your pom-pon:

Together these bats make a great mobile, or hang them in front of your window, in a tree or at your door.

With a little note attached to them, they make great invitations.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!!!

Something I made myself! I took a picture of me and my husband, then I drew around our faces, making sure I highlighted everything I wanted to show on the silhouette. After this I cut them out, traced them onto black paper, and cut again. I think the result is pretty good!
If you want to make them yourself, there is a great book in stores. It has all the information you need to make them plus black and decorated paper! I absolutely loved it!!!!
