Servings 1
Equipment
- Hot glue gun (this cordless one is my fave)
Ingredients
- Styrofoam pumpkin
- Black acrylic paint
- Craft foam black, purple, white
- Wiggly eyes
Instructions
- Paint the pumpkin with black acrylic paint
- While you wait for the pumpkin to dry, print this tracer.
- Cut out the wings and ears and use them to trace shapes onto craft foam. The mouth can be done however you like, smiling, scary, etc. Cut white fangs to fit.
- Glue the "inner" ear (the purple part) to the large part of the ear, then hot glue to the top of the bat's head.
- Glue wiggly eyes, mouth and teeth to the front of the pumpkin.
- Happy Halloween...your bat pumpkin is ready to fly!
