DIY Bat Brooch

Instructions

1. Trace and cut out bat template onto a piece of paper to make a pattern.
2. Trace four bat figures onto the back side of a black adhesive back felt sheet and cut them out.
3. Remove the adhesive from the back of one felt bat and adhere it to the top of another felt bat. Leave the adhesive backing on the bottom felt bat.
4. Remove the adhesive from the back of another black felt bat and adhere it to the top of the top felt bat from the previous step. Turn the joined bats over.
5. Remove the adhesive from the back of the last black felt bat and adhere it to the adhesive backing on the joined bats from the previous step. Trim to even up the edges, if necessary.
6. Glue a red e-bead onto a silver sequin and allow to dry. Repeat this step one more time to make two bat eyes. Glue the bat eyes onto the top two corners of a black lace bead to make a bat head.
7. Glue the bat head to the middle of the bat pin and allow to dry.
8. Use the paintbrush to spread glue evenly and generously in the middle of both bat wings. Pour small bugle beads over the glue and firmly press the beads down with your fingers so they adhere to the glue and allow to dry.
9. Glue one small clear bugle bead in the middle of each bat ear and allow to dry.
