Today I am using Samantha's Bat Circle Set to create 

hanging bat strings that I am using as part of my Halloween decorations!

Here's a link to the file:

I brought the file into Studio and then ungrouped the cut.  I removed everything except the center bat then I resized it to 6.510" x 2.785" and cut five per string (15 in total).

I cut three 45" pieces of Black Double-Faced Satin Ribbon.

Then tied a loop in each end, cutting the end into an angle as shown below:

Next I sew each bat to the ribbon and then trim all of the strings.

...Now you are ready to hang your bat strings!

I decided to trim this set so they were all different lengths.

and I liked mine so much I decided to make another set to hang on our Cemetery Gate!

I think these would be amazing hanging in a doorway 

with multiple strings like a walk through curtain too!

Your next stop on the hop is Guiseppa Gubler!
