by Malia Karlinsky
You won't BELIEVE what item from your pantry can be used to make adorable bats for Halloween!
Create a fun fall flower pot
Take a stroll through your pantry and stop at the Farfalle pasta box!
Pasta is great for decor projects!
Materials: A flower pot and saucer (if desired), Farfalle Pasta, black and green spray paint, black pom poms, little googly eyes, yellow vinyl or scrapbook paper and hot glue. If you with to make the sign too, you’ll need an orange craft stick, a small chalkboard sign, a Chalk Bistro Pen, and little leaves for embellishments.


1. Spray paint the pot and saucer (I used green paint for the pot and yellow for the saucer.


2. Using a glass as a template, cut a circle out of yellow vinyl or yellow scrapbook paper. This is the “moon.” If using paper, attach to pot with a dab of hot glue.


3. Make the bats
You'll go batty over these cute bats
Spray paint the noodles glossy back. Use hot glue to add googly eyes to pom pom and glue on Farfalle.


4. Use hot glue to attach bats to the flower pot
Bats taking flight...
5. Make the sign (if desired)

    @Malia Karlinsky I'm new to hometalk, so I just found these. Adorable! Since its spring now, I'm thinking of re-purposing your idea into butterflies!
