Bat

3D Flying Bat

I was working in my craftrooom today and made this adorable little 3D bat. I decided to share the tutorial on how I did it.  This is my first time doing this so I hope you like it.

I used the SU owl punch and black card stock to cut 2 owl body shapes.
 

Then I cut 2 cirlces with the SU 2 1/2 circle punch. and cut those both in half with scissors,

I took the 1 3/4 circle punch and punched out 2 curve shapes from the flat side of half circles.

I folded 2 of the half circles in half and glued them to the flat one on one half side only. This is so half of the top wing will be sticking up.

I glued the edge of the half circles to the body piece to form the wings. I used pop dots to glue down the body over the section we were working on.

I used clear crystals for the eyes. I did not have color crystals but I found they could be colored with a Sharpie. I did this one black I   

 also made one with green eyes that I did not get a picture of yet.  My grandson loved the green eyed one best.  I did not know the crystals could be colored so easily not sure if you heard that before on not but thought it was a cool idea for when you just don't have the write color.

Thanks for viewing. Elaine

  



Happy New Year

Ok Now I know I planned on keeping up with this blog last year. I am trying it again. Heah I am pretty sure I can post more than last year. lol Anyway I have a few pictures to add in and I got a video camera for Christmas so I hope to use that in the future. It's nice to have goals.
I have decided instead of alot of resolutions that are almost never kept I am doing a single word for the year. I saw this idea from Homegrown Hospitality and I loved the idea. My word this year is Believe.

Believe...
