Halloween Decor – Washi Tape Bat

11 Comments

I just couldn’t wait any longer! The Halloween bug has hit! Here’s our first Halloween post of the year – a simple craft that will be a fun decoration to put in your home.  Oh, and did you know we were here over the weekend? In case you missed it, we had an announcement and giveaway HERE and a post about a really great cause that went up yesterday HERE!

Waaaayyy back last Easter, Holly made this adorable framed silhouette art. I like to follow in my big sister’s footsteps (even though I have way bigger feet…) so I kinda copied her. A year and half later. Yes, you may think Washi isn’t cool anymore. But I still like it and I have so much of it I figured I better get to usin’ it!

I used a little bit different method than the Easter version. Using my Cricut, I cut out this bat shape on white cardstock and trimmed it to 8×10 inches to fit a frame I had.

This is the fun part! Apply strips of tape in a diagonal across the paper, placing the bat on top every few stripes to make sure they will be seen through the hole. Even if you only have two different patterns of tape this will work! (I’m just a bit of a hoarder.)

Tape or glue the bat cut-out over the top of the paper and frame! This would be an easy kids craft, too. 
The frame has that cool blue underneath because of a total spray paint fail that turned into something I actually liked! Weird how that happens sometimes!

Is anyone else so excited for Halloween? When do you start decorating?
