• 

  Step 1

  Start by printing out the bat templates and trace around them on to black shrink plastic. Punch holes through the feet of the smaller sleeping bats with a hole punch and shrink in the oven. Gather the rest of your supplies.

• 

  Step 2

  Decide how long you'd like the clips to be and cut your first chain to that length. Cut another length of chain which is a centimetre long and a third length which is another centimetre longer.

• 

  Step 3

  Attach the three lengths of chain to the first sweater clip using a jump ring.

• 

  Step 4

  Attach to the other clip.

• 

  Step 5

  Position the sleeping bats on the chain.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach them to the chain with a short length of black wire.

• 

  Step 7

  Glue the larger bats on to the earring clips. Remember that you want the opening of the clips to face out the way.

• 

  Step 8

  Glue some crystals to the bats for eyes and you're all done!

Oh yeah! I never thought about looking on Ebay, I should definitely look there sometime when I have the money. I just love this project! I would love to try it out myself!

That is adorable! Though I can never find the plastic to use for this in the stores.. Have any other suggestions on what I can use for this project.. or I might just have to find a place online that I can get them through.

It would work well with any thick plastic you can find! Try looking on eBay for shrink plastic though.
