Welcome to Magic Marker Monday! If you haven’t heard about Magic Marker Monday yet, click here and then hurry right back…

We found the idea for these batty little beasts over at Oriental Trading Company.
They were a cinch to put together and the kiddos have had a blast flapping them around the house!
All you need are clothespins, black paint or a sharpie marker, mini pom poms, black craft foam or felt, an opaque white gel pen or googly eyes, black or purple tissue paper, glue and scissors.
Hope you’ve had a fun and crafty week!

What a great bat project. They turned out so good!
What an adorable project! I wonder if it would work as other “flying” animals? Maybe a cardinal? (just trying to think what I could do now that the holiday has passed. LOL)
Happy Monday!
