DIY Halloween Bat Wreath
I made my bats by cutting out bat shapes, pinching the center and stitching in place. This gives the bat a more realistic look and is perfect for this wreath. I left enough embroidery floss in length to tie to the wreath later.
These cotton stems come in several different colors. I had pink stems, but think this wreath would look amazing with the white cotton also.
Start bending the stems into the shape of your wreath. I intertwined the stems together so the wreath was nice and sturdy.
Tie the bats to the wreath with the embroidery floss and use a double knot to secure.
Do you guys love this DIY Halloween Cotton Wreath as much as I do? It’s adorable and I’m so happy I put this together - it's perfect in my kitchen!

At $12.99 and up, I'm wondering how many packs of the cotton stems you needed.
-
I only needed two stems to make this wreath. You can look at Hobby Lobby or Michaels and get them when they are on sale.

Really cute idea!
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
You did not mention what the bats are made of so I assume since felt was on the list of materials that was what you used? In addition, I don't believe a lot of us can just cut out a bat shape, so did you have a stencil?
Em: I did look online for free stencils but found none that looked like this one, which is the shape I like the most.
What about getting the cotton stems at Dollar tree?
