make something monday :: bat lantern

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a great weekend! I had the pleasure of doing a guest post a few weeks ago over on the eighteen 25 blog for their fun September Spooktacular. I thought I would share it here today for make something monday. It's a really simple little bat lantern to get you in the mood for Halloween festivities.  

It's a simple project that won't break the bank but will make a huge impact as you get into the spooky mood this season. 

Your going to need:

1. a paper lantern, mine is from Ikea
2. black card stock or heavy paper
3. adhesive dots or glue
4. a bat template I used this one
5. scissors and a pen for tracing and cutting

All you will need to do is cut up a bunch of spooky bats and get your adhesive ready.

Attach them one at a time after you get your paper lantern all set up. I used the sticky dots because I wanted to be able to remove them at the end of the season and tuck it all away for next year.

Stick them all over the place.

It looks even spookier at night!!!

I will be back later this week with more to share. We spent over twenty five hours the past few days doing some really hard work with our move getting the house ready to close by the end of the month. It has been so grueling I am not going to lie. We will finally be getting some internet action at our new house on Tuesday though which is exciting. And Mr. Gough has a birthday this week too so we are hoping to take a hard earned break to take our kids to the fair!

Happy Monday everyone hope it's a good one!
