- Download Spooky Halloween Bats Eyes {Studio File and printable}
- Cut the necessary cardstock pieces.
- I set my Silhouette Cameo in pace, applied the right settings and got started.
STEP 2: CUT THE BAT PIECES
- Firstly, I cut this 4 times on back cardstock, so I would have 16 bats.
- Then on another file, I placed the eyes and cut them once.
STEP 3: ASSEMBLING THE BATS
- Once I had everything cut out I started gluing the eyes to the bats.
- Follow the photos to match the eyes to the body.
- Cute first bat done!
- Finish all your bats.
STEP 4: ASSEMBLING THE GARLAND
- Next, I took the wool and made my measurements on where I was going to place the garland {decided to put it on the window}.
- Have fun organizing the bats differently along the strip.
- Lastly, I glued them to the yarn string with hot glue gun.
STEP 5: HANGING THE BATS!
- Finally, when finished gluing all the bats I hung them in the window and waited until sunset to take pictures.
- I also added some fun eyes on the window to make it spookier LOL.
