These little bats are here to spread some holiday cheer. What, you didn't picture bats as Santa's helpers? Bats get a bad rap, but these cuties are more than happy to add some whimsy to your Christmas decor.
I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I didn't come up with it. I walked into my department's main office earlier in the week and lo and behold, there were bats with Santa hats on the walls:
They were so adorable, I decided I had to make some of my own. Here's how I made my variant.
Materials:
*Black cardstock
*White cardstock
*Red cardstock
*Scissors, pencil, and X-acto knife (or Silhouette CAMEO)
*All purpose adhesive
Directions:
*Print out a copy of the bat template below (or import it to Silhouette Studio; for directions on how to cut out my templates using Silhouette Studio see this post). The bat template minus the hat could also be used if you're looking for some cutesy Halloween decor.
*Cut out the pieces of the template. Trace the bat shape onto black cardstock, the main hat piece onto red cardstock, and the other two hat pieces onto white cardstock.
*Glue together the hat pieces and then glue the hat onto the bat.
