Craft Supplies:
Ensure you have all the materials needed for the craft within reach. For the cupcake liner bat craft, you’ll need:
- Mini Black Cupcake Liners
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Glue Stick
- Small Wiggle Eyes
- Scissors
- Thin Tip Black Marker
Directions:
Follow these simple steps to create your very own cupcake liner bats.
- First things first – make your card. I went with a regular 5×5″ square card shape out of gray colored cardstock. You just need to make sure your black cupcake liner will fit on the front of your card. I went with a shade of dark gray for a Halloween theme but feel free to change it up!
- Now you are ready for the “bat” part. Grab your black cupcake liner and flatten it out with your fingers.
- Put some glue on the back of your flattened cupcake liner piece and glue it onto your card front.
- If the edges are sticking up, add more glue so it really sticks down on the paper.
- Next up – the embellishments. Grab all your sheets of cardstock and the scissors.
- Cut out some bat wings, triangular ears and fangs.
- To finish your Cupcake Liner Bat Card, simply glue the cardstock pieces you just cut out, in their designated spots, as well as the wiggle eyes to give it life.
- Take the Sharpie marker to write clever sayings like “I’m batty for you” around the design.
- Then add other embellishments you see fit and give away proudly!
