These adorably spooky tealight bats make for a fun craft night with family and friends, and add a little fun to your Halloween decor. But the best part? They’re super easy to make.
For this craft, you'll need:
- Flameless tealights
- Clear nail polish
- Black and gray felt
- Black and/or gray glitter
- Googly eyes
- Black ribbon or magnet
- Hot glue gun
- Hair dryer (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by painting the tealight with a thin layer of clear nail polish. Then sprinkle the tealight with gray or black glitter. Set aside to dry for about 30 minutes.
- While your tealight is drying, cut out four triangular ears from the felt. You can use the first triangle as a stencil for the other three. Take your hot glue gun and glue two ears together. This will make the wings more sturdy when you attach them to the tealight. Do this to the other set of ears.
- Next, you’ll need to make the bat wings. Cut out four felt bat wings in any shape you'd like. Again, you can cut one and then use that as a stencil for the other three!
- Like the ears, you’ll also need to make the wings sturdy, so go ahead and glue two wings together with the hot glue gun. Do this to the other set of wings as well. Make sure you leave the section where the wings attach to the tealight unglued. This will help connect the wings to the tealight later on.
- Once your tealight is dry, paint a generous amount of clear nail polish over the glitter. You can use a blowdryer to speed up the drying time! Then, it's time to put all the pieces together. With your hot glue gun, attach the wings to the sides of the tealight candle. Then, attach the bat ears to the top of the candle. And for the best part, give the bat some googly eyes!
- To finish, you can use your hot glue gun to attach a ribbon or a magnet to the back of your adorable bat.
