Going Batty

In the spirit of the spooky season, we made some bat hair clips! Who doesn't need flying rodents (I know, I know, they're actually mammals--it's just that "flying mammals" doesn't sound spooky enough) tangled up in their tresses? If you want some, too, there are two ways to get them.

#1-Make them

If you can't tell, this is sparkly black felt. Fold it in half and cut a bat shape, like so.

I used pinking shears to cut the bottom of the wings.

Cut a body out of regular black felt.

Stitch them together with white embroidery floss.

You can add eyes if you want. After all, no two bats are alike.

I covered the clip (I bought a whole box at a beauty supply store for just a few dollars) with ribbon, using hot glue.

Then I used hot glue to attach the bat to the clip.

And, #2 (perhaps even easier than #1)--Leave a comment and I'll pick some lucky people to receive their own batty clip! Just like you always wanted.

As you can see, I made more than we could ever use.
