bats

Make your walls come alive after dark with a swarm of spooky felt bats created with Mod Podge Stiffy.

Instructions:

  1. Trace the bat shape onto the felt using chalk.
  2. Cut out the bat along the traced lines.
  3. Coat the bat with Stiffy by dipping the felt into the fabric stiffener. Make sure it is fully saturated, then gently remove any excess.
  4. Create the bat’s curved shape by wrapping a bottle in plastic wrap and draping the wet bat over it.
  5. Shape the wings by pinching small pleats into the felt and securing them with small clothespins.
  6. Let the bat dry for 24 hours. Once completely dry, remove the clothespins and lift the bat from the bottle.
