Bats!

Halloween is next week. Can you believe it?! While you are getting all of your decor and costumes ready for the ghoulish event, don't forget to take a few moments and sign up for the Crafty Christmas Swap. It's a really simple, fun thing to do and will only take as much time as you would like it to. Basically, you will exchange ornaments with 3-4 other people from around the country or the globe. In light of the holiday next week, I made some simple paper bats to put up on the wall. I saw this done on as part of a decorated mantle and loved the idea, but thought I would bring some more color to the scheme.

Materials:
Bat Template
Scrapbook/Construction paper
Scissors
A bone folder or some other scoring tool
Small hole punch

Directions:
Print the bat template onto the back of your paper and cut the bats out. Use your scoring tool to score along the dotted lines. Place a ruler along one of the score lines and fold along the score. Repeat the previous step for the remaining score lines. Make two little eyes with your small hole punch, then just tape them to the wall!
