Description

For this week's Crafter To The Stars I'm making a set of bat sweater clips for Davina Divine, the lead singer of The Mars Patrol.

Instructions

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.

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.

3. 

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

4. 

   Attach to the other clip.

5. 

   Position the sleeping bats on the chain.

6. 

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

7. 

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

8. 

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