Bats in my belfry... {create your own!}



I never decorated for Halloween until I had kids and now I'm wondering -- WHY!? -- because it's so much fun! We got our bats up last night and I smile every time I look at them. Such an inexpensive way to create some spook for your home.

Just go to Google Images, search "bat template" and you'll come up with all different shapes and sizes. Cut your bats out of black card stock (aka: scrapbooking paper). I folded mine in half and only taped down one wing. Having the other wing free gives your display a 3-D feeling.

Enjoy!
