Revamp Egg Cartons By Turning Them Into Adorable Bat Decor For Halloween
Make your home the most spook-tacular around with this easy DIY that is both adorable and more sustainable than purchasing another decoration. This bat is made from a paper egg carton you already have lying around the house, some black paint, and googly eyes. With just a few simple steps, you can turn what would usually be trash into a new terrific Halloween design.
Social media DIYer, hellocraft_co, shows that this cute Halloween craft is easy to make. Before beginning this project, take a moment to review the things you should always do before using egg cartons for home DIY projects. Once your egg carton is ready to go, all you need to do is cut out a row of three egg spaces. Paint the entire row black. After it dries completely, add some googly eyes, a face using a piece of white paper, and a piece of string or ribbon attached to the top. Your newest Halloween decoration is now ready to be hung around your home!
Customize this craft for boo-tiful results
Taking a few extra moments to make this craft your own is definitely worth your time. Before painting your project, cut a design around the bat's wings. Try different patterns on each bat to give each one a unique look. Use leftover egg carton pieces to create pointed ears to hot glue on top of the bat's head. And, instead of an expression cut out of white paper, use a white paint marker to easily create a face to match each bat's personality.
Also, make sure to get creative with where you display this craft. Hang it on your favorite house plant or on a Christmas tree that you turn into Halloween decor. Let your bats "fly" by attaching them to the ceiling or a light fixture (just make sure your light doesn't emit heat). Or grab a long piece of ribbon or yarn to create a garland. Consider using school glue to create these adorable ghost decorations, and interchange them with the bats on your garland. Once you've used all of your egg cartons on this cute Halloween design, save money on other fall decor and try this unique Halloween pool noodle DIY.
