Boo-De-Licious

October 27, 2010 | Filed under: Articles and tagged with: Halloween, home decor, Kelleigh Ratzlaff, Mari Koegelenberg, Nicki Epperson, Treat container

Halloween, it’s all about the candy isn’t it? Oh Yeah, but it’s also fun to have something cute to hold all that yummy stuff.  This batty container can be used to hold small treats and when empty, can be hung up as a decoration.

PROJECT SUPPLIES

Digitial Supplies – A Lil Spooky by Nicki Epperson,  Spook Ville the Kit by Mari Koegelenberg, Icicle Ornament Template Kit by Kelleigh Ratzlaff

Black and white Cardstock

Adhesive, dimensionals, ribbon, 1 inch circle punch

STEP 1

In a photo editing program enlarge the bat from A Lil Spooky so that the wing span is about nine inches wide. Print two of these for use as templates.

STEP 2

Trim the top of the bat as shown.

And use it as a template to cut out the wings from the star paper found in Spook Ville the Kit.

STEP 3

Adhere the star paper onto black cardstock and trim around the wing shape leaving a 1/4 inch border.

STEP 4

Using some type of circle shape (I used a spellbinders circle die)  draw around the edge as shown.

STEP 5

Use the head from step 4 as a template to cut the shape  from black card stock.

STEP 6

I wanted the eyes to stand out so the parts were cut separately from black and white card stock  and  attached in layers on to the head using dimensionals.

STEP 7

The head was adhered to the back of the wings.

STEP 8

A 1/4 inch ribbon was attached to a 1 inch circle of cardstock.

Which was then adhered to the back of the head.

STEP 9

The small  Icicle Ornament Template was printed on white card stock for use as a template.

STEP 10

Trim the scallop edge off the template and use to cut out the shape from black card stock.

STEP 11

Using one of the triangles from the icicle template as a guide, a tuxedo front was made from the striped paper from the Spook Ville Kit.

STEP 12

Before assembling the icicle, the striped pieces were adhered to the front of the icicle and a bow was made and attached as well. The icicle was then assembled as shown.

STEP 13

The icicle was adhered to the front of the wings and filled with candy corn.

The bat is so Boo-de-licious baby!  This would work really well using a butterfly template also.

Have a howling good Halloween!
