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!!!

My first sewing pattern...

I have made my first sewing pattern. Just in time for Halloween!! I am so excited and a little bit scared, because sewing patterns are so different from my crochet patterns. Lot's of writing and I pray my english is good enough. I have also added lots of pictures to help you on your way. I hop you guys like it.
The Ghost sewing pattern is now for sale in my etsy shop
