Instructions:
Cut 12 bats from a variety of patterned papers (either 12 x 12 or from the 6 x 6 paper pad). Remember to use the backs so they are all different.
Cut 12 strips from and hand write the different bat "species" on the strips. Have fun making up the bat names (you could use the names of family and friends).
Curl up the wings on the bats and embellish to your hearts content (if you have named your bats after loved ones, think of them as you design their bat)
Lay bats and species name strips out evenly spaced on the frame and adhere using glue dots and pins.
Add a hanger to the frame using Burlap trim
Enjoy!
