Halloween Button Bats
{this post contains affliate links referencing products used}
The Button Bats are cut with my Silhouette CAMEO using a Silhouette Bat cut file and Pebbles Inc Halloween paper. If you don’t have a die cutting machine, these bats could be easily traced and cut out by hand by using a bat template.
After the paper bats were cut out, I adhered black buttons on to the front of each one. To add a little bit of detail, I threaded each button with twine and used a white gel pen to add faux stitching around the edges.
When you’re ready to hang the Button Bats on the wall, bend the wings up a bit to add some dimension to make these cute bats look like they are flying off the wall.
