Halloween Ornament

I have officially gone batty! I created these felt bats for a swap I'm in a 2peas. I saw a bat a while back and did a screenprint for inspiration. Now I can't find the source. So if it's your idea..please let me know and I will credit you. I did a slight modification on the body shape and added a round circle under one of the button eyes to make it look a little more primitive looking. Here's how I did it.

Step 1 - Cut 2 black bat shapes out of black felt

Step 2 -cut one round circle out of felt(any color but black) - I did mine in orange, yellow, and purple

Step 3 - Gather some halloween colored buttons(I used an SEI halloween button tube I had on hand)

Step 4 - Sew the round felt shape and the halloween buttons on for eyes on one piece of the black felt. (You can use my how to sew on a button with your machine tutorial if you don't know how to do this)

Step 5 - Sew on the mouth and fangs(use a contrasting thread - I used orange but white could look nice too)

Step 6 - Cut a length of ribbon for your ornament hanger(I used orange ribbon)

Step 7 - Place ribbon folded in half in between the two felt black pieces. The felt pieces should be wrong sides together.

Step 8 - Sew around the perimeter of the bat to secure in ornament hanger

Step 9 - Sew two trianges on both sides of the eyes and mouth to create a fun look.

Step 10 - Hang up your bat and let him fly.

ENJOY!
