Each month, Stephanie Martinez will share an exciting craft project designed to inspire and spark creativity.
Stephanie starred in the first season of Making It on Network 10, where she discovered and ignited her passion for
crafting. Join Stephanie as she explores the endless possibilities of crafting and turn everyday materials into
something extraordinary.
This month, Stephanie is creating a flying bat that you can make for Halloween or just for fun.
Enjoy making your spooky bat!
Flying bat
Materials
Black, red and white cardstock
60cm black yarn
Googly eyes
Straw
Equipment
Flying Bat template
Sticky tape
Glue stick
Scissors
Pencil
Step 1
Scan the QR code to download the bat template. Use the template to cut out the flying bat.
Step 2
Glue on the googly eyes.
Step 3
Cut out a half circle out of red paper. This will be the bat’s mouth. Cut 2 small triangles from white paper. These will be the bat’s fangs. Glue the fangs to the top edge of the half circle mouth, making sure they point downwards. Glue the mouth right below the eyes.
Step 4
Fold the yarn in half and thread it through the straw. Tape the 2 ends of the yarn to the 2 wings of the bat. Tape the straw to the centre of the bat.
Step 5
To make the bat ‘fly’ hold the other end of the yarn and gently pull it up and down.
