Bat Wing Boots


     Looking for a way to add a touch of Halloween to your wardrobe?  Try adding some felt bat wings to a pair of lace up boots.  I used these for my Dark Alice Halloween costume last year, but will probably pull them out again this fall to wear on days when I could use a little Halloween spirit.

Materials:

*Lace up boots
*Black felt
*Black or silver thread
*Metallic marker or chalk
*Scissors
*Hole punch that can punch through felt (or a sufficiently sharp pair of scissors)

Directions:

*Trace two copies of the template given below onto black felt.  Don't trace the veins.  Those are there as a visual guide.


*Stitch on veins.  You may want to use black thread for a more natural look or silver or purple for more visible veins.

*Mark out where you would like the holes for the laces to be.  Make sure they align with your particular boots.

*Punch or cut out holes for the laces.

*Lace the wings into the boots.
