Pompom Bat Tutorial from Toastie Studio

Hi, Stephanie from Toastie Studio here with a quick and easy tutorial on making pompom bats!
These little bats are great quick and easy thing to get the kids to do and help decorate the house for Halloween.

So to make these little bats you need a pompom, mine was 5cm diameter made from dark purple wool and I used one of those handy tools, or use the traditional way with cardboard circles (great tutorial for that here).

Once you have your pompom cut out some bat wings from black felt and some little fang triangles from white felt.

Using a hot glue gun add a splodge of glue down the middle of the bat wings and plop your pompom ontop of it. Wait a couple of seconds so it cools and sticks.
If you want the kids to do this I think a good glue like modge podge would also work.

Hot glue on the little felt fangs to the front, and add some googly eyes for cuteness! (Or if like me you don't have any, just cut white felt circles and add black sequins.)

I wish I had more colours of wool, I would love to make some pumpkins with orange wool and a little green felt stem and black felt scary face! If I can find my black wool I might make a spider too with felt fangs and pipe cleaner legs. You can really experiment and make lots of different kinds!
