BATKIN RINGS PROJECT DAY

Happy Monday, Halloweenies! I hope you all had a frightfully good weekend.

I thought today would be a good Project Day, and as I was searching around the old archives, I came across this oldie but goodie, so let's make some felt, Batkin Rings!

Here's a Halloween how-to from a few years back, that's so easy and inexpensive, from that crafty guru Eddie Ross. They're so fun to make and will look great all year long, if you ask me..

Check out these step-by-step instructions from Eddie, himself....

Cut it out with a pair of scissors, trace it onto black felt with a white pencil or even a piece of chalk, then cut it out again.

Next, using an Exacto knife, carefully make a small incision in the felt.

Fold one wing into the other...

...then insert a cloth napkin of your choice, spread your wings and soar!

So what are you waiting for? Vamp up your Halloween buffet with a bevy of beautiful, sinfully simple Batkin Rings!

I can't wait to show these off at our next dinner party! Thanks again, Eddie! They're just boo-tiful!
