Vampire Bat Pencil Topper

By Noreen 18 Comments




By Noreen Doll.

Bats are always popular with kids, so this vampire bat pencil topper will make a great project.

Vampire Bat Pencil Topper by Crafty Journal

Kids can create them, or you can make them as treats for a party or to hand out on Halloween.

Because they are quick and easy, they would also be a great classroom project.

Materials.

Black Craft Foam

Pencil

Scissors

Paper for Pattern

Paper Punch

Bit of Red Craft Foam for Eyes

How to Make a Vampire Bat Pencil Topper.

1. Make a paper pattern by folding a piece of paper in half and drawing half a bat next to the fold.

Bat Pattern by Crafty Journal

Cut it out.

2. Open the bat pattern

and trace around it on the black craft foam.

I’ve found that pencil marks will show up enough on the black foam so you can see to cut the bat out.

Cut it out.

3. Make 2 slits where the pencil will go through.

Or punch two holes.

4. Cut or punch 2 tiny eyes from the red foam.

Or you can use 2 googly eyes or 2 red seed beads.

5. Glue the eyes on the front of the head.

Slide the bat onto the end of the pencil.

Tips.

Be sure kids are supervised when using sharp objects.
