I have to admit, I tend to break out the fall decorations as soon as Labor Day is over (and it is hard to wait that long!) Somewhere in the middle of October I like to start adding in some Halloween flair.
Here is a fun, and quick 10 minute spooktacular DIY for Halloween!
All you need is:
- Black construction paper
- Chalk
- Scissors
- Tape
Step #1: Draw some bat shapes. I just drew a bat shape freehand on paper, but you could also trace around a bat-shaped cookie cutter or print and trace this bat shape or something similar. I used chalk because it is easy to see on the black paper.
Step #2: Cut out your bats!
Step #3: Put a small piece of tape in the center of each bat. I just looped regular tape, double-stick would work great here as well.
Step #4: Attach to the inside of your lampshade.
Here they are, all attached!
Step #5: Turn on the light and enjoy!
This would be a really fun craft to do with preschoolers to work on scissor skills. You could do as many or as few bats as you like. You could also vary the sizes! I might make a few smaller ones to add around the sides.
If you do this, be sure to share a picture with me - I would love to see what you made!
Super cute
