DIY Bat Tree...

This is a re-post from last year, but I thought I'd share it just in case anyone wants to make it! If you do make one, let me know, I'd love to see yours!

Halloween is next week! So here's a fun little activity I modified from Martha Stewart Living to decorate your home, create with your babes, + put you in that ghoulish spirit!

1)Trace these bat templates onto black card stock (I used black construction paper) + cut them out following the template instructions. 

2)Using a tack, punch a small hole in the center of each bat. 

3)Poke a piece of thread (I used floss) through each hole and knot it. 

4)Tie the bats to a few branches (painting them with black acrylic paint is optional). 

5)Then place the branches in an old vase and fill with autumn leaves (real/plastic), or hang one branch from two pieces of thread secured to a window frame with flat thumbtacks. 

6)Have a happy Halloween!
