Remember those dollar store owl die cuts I used to make my Halloween Owl Plate? Well…they also hat a collection of bats! Here is what you will need to make this simple and quick…
Paper Bat Halloween Tree
Supplies…
1 package of paper bat die cuts { from Dollar Tree }
1 roll newspaper print wrapping paper { from Target dollar spot }
1 black urn { from Hobby Lobby }
dark brown or black spooky branches { from Hobby Lobby }
floral foam
floral wire
extra small hole punch
Step 1: Place the spooky tree branches into your urn.
Step 2: Secure the position of the branches by placing floral foam around the branches.
Step 3: Punch a small hole into each bat, make sure you punch a hole in the bottom of the bat that you would like to hang upside down!
Step 4: Cut small 2 inch lengths of floral wire and curve into an “s” shape and insert one end through the hole in each bat.
Step 5: hang the bats all over the tree like they are flying and hanging upside down.
Step 6: Cut 1/2 inch wide strips of the newspaper wrapping paper and place into the urn to cover the floral foam.
That is it!
I love how this Paper Bat Halloween Tree turned out! It is the perfect centerpiece for my table and a great jumping off point for the rest of my table decor to come! It is amazing to me what you can find at the dollar store!
