Just about finished with my second bat. This one was so much easier than the first one. Both done on a UITC board.

[@crookedtreecreations]

That’s great! I’m planning to do one on the UITC board soon!

[@jillgross6232]

He's such an adorable bat! I really like him. I love how you created the wings. It makes the wings look thick and full. His little face is sweet looking. You'd never know it was originally a cat head! 😂😂😂

[@crookedtreecreations]

Thanks! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@jewelarender2451]

Absolutely ADORABLE!!!!❤

It is adorable, Patty! What about making 2 & then comes the conundrum of how to hang - but if not on a door, that would also be very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@crookedtreecreations]

Yep! 😂 Thanks!!!

Wow I’ve never seen anyone do something like this. Very impressive thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@eileenmankinen5149]

Like the bat wreath idea....but Kat's Creations has an easier way to make the base....I am gonna try cutting some large plastic cake plate supports to use for the 'wings'; and I am thinking that instead of using a 10"x10" piece of mesh for each petal, maybe it would lay flatter if you use half the material. And you could always try using an iron with parchment laid over each petal to make it lay flatter as well. Just a thought. Thanks for putting the tutorial out there for everyone to learn!

I love how it turned out for you. I tried Deco mesh 😅😅😂Nooo way looks as good as to yours. Thank you for sharing.

[@crookedtreecreations]

Thank you! I have a love/hate relationship with deco mesh! It doesn’t like me telling it what to do! 😂 Poly burlap and fabric mesh are much easier to work with!

Very cute. I like the way you use the mesh in a way that hides the strings and will probably help prevent unraveling.

[@crookedtreecreations]

Yes! I’m all about less fraying! Thanks for watching! 😊

As I am looking at the bat with the wings up It reminds me of an eagle, also angel wings.

I love this. I am a novice at wreath making. Im not sure I can figure out how to make this one but it sure is awesome! I'm not real sure on the placements of the mesh per quarter on the wreath form. I know you sectioned it off into 5 parts. Looks like 3-4 per section?? Thanks

[@crookedtreecreations]

You can do it! Yes, I put 3 “petals” on each line that I made.

This is cute. Can you use the rainbow frame instead of doing it this way?

I’m sure you could. I don’t know the size of the rainbow wreath frame, so I can’t give any suggestions on how many petals, etc.

[@teresacuellar3826]

What size holes are in your plastic sheet for size of zip ties you used. I like when you can start out with the supplies you used even the wire cutter you used. It would be helpful. I couldn’t find a list either. Thank you. I want to make this soon. It’s adorable

[@crookedtreecreations]

Under this video, you’ll see the description. Click on the “more” tab and if you look further down in the description of this video, you’ll find a list of products I used and links to where you can find them. I always use the 5 mesh of the plastic canvas since it has bigger holes than the 7 mesh. Thanks so much for watching!

I'm not a painter I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. Could you use the big googly eyes??

😂 I’m terrible with both, too! But I’m sure you could use googly eyes! 👀 I would get at least 1” in diameter, but no more than 2”.
