OK. So here are the deets on how to make your own Halloween Bat Wreath…
1. Print out a bat silhouette from wherever… Fold it in half and draw a grid over it.
2. Tear off a large piece of Freezer Paper and fold it in half.
Draw a similar grid and copy the bat square for square…
See… it’s not too difficult. I promise!
3. Cut out your pattern and trace it on some Fiberboard or plywood, whatever you may have lying around…
4. Paint a couple of coats of black.
5. After the base coat of black is dry, paint on some glue.
6. Sprinkle on lots of sparkly black glitter…
7. Let it dry. {um. duh, right? }
8. Don’t even think about spraying on any Spray Adhesive. It will dull the shiny sparkles.
Don’t ask me how I know that one…
9. Affix it to a laser cut wreath like this one from Michaels.
Spoooooky. Huh?

Oh, yay! I’m thrilled to have something like you do… cuz your taste is SO amazing!!! Whoooo-hoooo!!!!
It’s so gross over here… foggy and mucky! I’m totally hating it!
Awesomely cute wreath Gwen! It’s still cute, but a little bit spooky too. And I’m feeling your pain with all the webs? I knock em down and the next night, they’re back! Yuk!

Thank you, Heather!
Nope, there is no such thing as fall cleaning. Let’s not let this get out of hand and become a trend or anything.
(That is the prettiest batty wreath I ever did see.)

Oh, I know! Hush my mouth…
Thank you, Kelly!
Very cool on that blue door, Gwen.
Spiderwebs…we keep them out of harm’s way all summer just for Halloween.
That’s my lame-o story, anyway.
I must say that I want to make a bat signal now and put it high in the sky.

Haha! That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
And that is exactly what my boys said when I put that wreath up!
