Batty? Yes, that is what I would call this little idea of mine! A fellow consultant posted this adorable bat box on our boards, and I thought...oh how cute! They looked super simple so I told my son we could make them for his class for Halloween treats! I tweaked the design a little but they seemed to take forever to make...I was dreaming of bats. But in the end, Gabriel was super excited to share them with his friends at school and oh, so, proud of them... which of course made the efforts worth it!
So, how were they made? I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the french fry box. My mom free-handed a pattern for the wings which I traced onto Black Cardstock and cut out. The eyes are google-eyes and the mouth was drawn with a white paint pen. Because I knew these were going to be handled and loved by 5 year olds and had to make it home on the buses, I used a red-lined tape which is incredibly strong. I applied the tape for both seams of the boxes and then to attach the wings to the back of the container. For the final touch, I added candy in the bags and tied a bow.
