A few weeks back I saw some bats that Kat over at Everybody Loves Raymond...and Kat had made out of scrapbook paper.
It was love at first sight. With the paper bats, that is. I just knew I had to have them. Which meant, I was going to have to make some myself.
So I did!
Kat hung her bats from some branches. I decided to make mine into a bat mobile.
Not that kind of Batmobile.
This kind of batmobile.
If you want the pattern for the bat and a tute on how to make them, you will have to click on over to Kat's blog by clicking here. I'm too lazy to tell you myself.
I already had all the paper on hand. I got the Martha Stewart black glitter at Michael's with a 50% off coupon.
I needed nine different bats to hang from my chandy. I don't have a Silhouette machine or a Cricut machine. And since my paper wasn't double sided, that meant I hand to hand cut 18 different bats. I used a glue stick to glue the bats together. I then used cheap dollar store white school glue along the edges & covered the glue with the black glitter. I hung the bats from the chandy with black curling ribbon.
I love my batmobile. Now if only I could get Batman to show up to my house in the real Batmobile and take me for a spin. Varooooooom!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHow cute are these! I am going to show these to my daughter. My grandson wants a Halloween Birthday party and these would be perfect! Plus I get to spend time with my sweet daughter helping her make them. Fun! Thanks for sharing!~ Ames
ReplyDeletelove them!!!!!!!!! glad you stumbled across them and decided to try it yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love how this looks. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! It's just brilliant how you mixed all of the damask-print papers in with your Halloween decorations. I'm mixing in some zebra this year, isn't it all just so fun? Hope you and your family are having a great fall season! Thanks for the inspiration, Kim.
