Hey Lovelies! Do you enjoy fall so far?! Here there is a lot of wind and rain, but I love it, specially cause al lot of fruits and nuts are ready to collect. I love going out in nature and see what foods I can find. It’s a good feeling to work for your food =P. Do you do this as well? Or do you prefer to stay inside with this weather? ^_^
Since it’s getting darker faster now, every evening when I close my curtains, I see a bat flying around, it’s so fun to watch! This made me inspired to make a Bat amigurumi, it’s so cute~. I hope you will love it as well, do you see real bat’s flying sometimes?

Assembling

By using sewing pins, you can position all parts before sewing them on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with how it looks.

Sew the ears on to of the head of the Bat and his belly to the body. His legs go right beside, slightly lower his belly. On His back you will sew his wings. Position them however you like.

If you want you can sew on a little mouth, I didn’t because I like it this way xD.

I hope you enjoyed this new bat pattern and let me know if you made it! I always love to see works that are made by you, using my patterns, I always feel so loved!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Papercraft; Fall Decor

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I really needed a small break from my crochet works, I sometimes forget other crafts excist as well! There is so much fun stuff out there. I really needed to go back to my first love for paper. You can create so much with it, either flat or 3D. For today I created something flat, tho I think it’s very cute to put somewhere in your home, some nice little fall decor. And it also includes some handlettering (I don’t explane how, but there are plenty tutorials out there). I hope you will enjoy this easy, but fun craft!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Cardboard, in Autumn colors (you can also use patterned paper to give it that little extra).
♥ Pencil.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Glue.
♥ This Template.
♥ Black Fineliner.

DIY

Start with printing out the template (or trace it from your screen if you don’t have a printer). Cut all these parts out.

If you have all your parts cutted out, trace those to the colored paper of choise. Most parts you trace just ones, but for the leaves, just trace them as many times as you want.
For the hood mushrooms and the stem of the pumpkin, leave them on first if you trace them on to the main color, then cut off the hoods of the mushrooms and the stem of the pumpkin. Trace those parts to the desired color seperately.

Glue the stem of the pumpkin and the hoods of the mushrooms on the main colored paper.

With a black fineliner, draw on the details on the pumpkin and the leaves.

Make an arrangement of all the parts you have made, if you are happy with how it looks, glue all parts to it’s definite place.

Handlettering

Last but not least, handletter on the word ‘Fall’ or ‘Autumn’. I won’t explane, like I said, but you can find plenty of tutorials online. Or simply copy hope I wrote mine!

I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY in between everything, I defenitely did!
