Ever since I saw these bats from MADE, I wanted to try it out.
I sort of did with my specimen version last year.
 This year I made them into a flock and used the template link that Dana provides for you.
They just look so spooky…yet classy.

Better on the inside, but also pretty nice from the outside. It looks very cool at night too.
I bought a big 50 sheet pack of paper from Michael’s {$2 with coupon!}, so I just kept snipping and cutting and took the frame wall in our dining room….
And made it into this.
I’ve been wanting to do this ever since I put these frames up, so it’s fun to finally see it realized.
This part of the wall is my favorite.
I used some of the bats here, and for the rest I printed up some silhouettes/coloring pages from google images and used them as a template. The only exception is the cat. I free handed it. It’s my least favorite as a result. Oh well. 🙂
The spider web is made out of black yarn and the spider is a bunch of pipe cleaners twisted together.
Then I made a little mouse hole and mouse/rat for our wall by the stairs.
I just hope Reid will be able to leave the decorations alone. Good thing they’re just paper!
Even still, they’re my favorite Halloween decorations yet.
We’ve had a really cold snap here. We went from highs in the 80’s to highs in the 50’s this week. Brrrr…Fall is officially here. We are getting a lot of rain too so everything is dark and wet today, which I usually love, but it’s bad for indoor photography. I had to use a 1/15 second shutter speed! I was propping my elbows up and holding my breath to avoid camera shake. Phew…I’m out of breath. 🙂
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Your decor looks fabulous Delia! So clean and elegant. The mouse is a great little added touch… 🙂
I love how it came out with the frames! Totally pinning this to remember for years to come…and I think your cat came out great! 🙂
I love this idea- so simple but very cute! How did you attach the yarn for the spider web to the frame? Glue, staples, tacks?
cute delia! simple yet striking. 🙂
It all looks so great! Those bats from Country Living are awesome.
your frames look awesome!!! soo spooky and cute 🙂
Awesome decorations! They look so good, and I love that it’s all just paper- very affordable 🙂
I LOVE your spooky frames! And the cat looks fantastic- don’t hate it (him? her?)! Really. Great job. Very inspiring.
I’m so glad you made the bats! And the framed artwork is really fun!
LOVE IT!! I absolutely LOVE that you did it without a Silhouette!
Love what you did with the bats and frames!! The mouse is really cute too.
I LOVE these! You are so creative!! Loving your blog- so fun!
