Despite the fact that I was swamped making items for the 5 craft shows I’d signed up for, I couldn’t help myself but to make something for my nephew’s Halloween party. I played around with a couple of ideas (witch, pumpkin, Frankenstein) and in the end I settled on bats, well because my new nephew tends to a little batty. I filled the basket with nut-free goodies and little toys.

The body of the bat is made from a single piece of 12×12 cardstock. The wings are also black card stock that I made using a couple quick snips with a circle punch.

I’m happy with the way they turned out and the kids (and the teachers) loved them!
