All-Things-Halloween Projects

I was recently asked if I would like to share some Halloween projects with my readers and of course I said "YES!". All three projects look pretty simple to make and look like they could be modified for other images as well.

Bat Mobile:

 Instructions

1. Find a smooth stick 16" long and spray paint it silver. Let dry completely.

2. Cut a length of wire or cord 22" long and bend or tie each end to the ends of the stick to create a hanger.

3. Cut 5 double sided bats from black, patterned, double sided cardstock 2" tall.

4. Punch a small hole in the top of the bats and secure with a black eyelet.

5. Tie varying lengths of string to the bats and hang them by tying along the stick.

6. Tie a ribbon at the top if desired.
