How to Make Cute Bat & Ghost Cork Ornaments

Tools and materials:

• Bat wing template
• Scissors
• Burlap ribbon with wire
• Paint
• Corks
• Hot glue
• Screw eyes
• Felt

Bat Cork Ornaments

First, you will need to make a pair of bat wings. You can download the free template from the original post on my website if you like. Just click here.

1. Cut out the wings in ribbon

To make wings I used 2-inch wide burlap ribbon. Use a wider ribbon if you like. (Shown above are two sets of wings. I made two bats.)

If you notice, the top of the wire ribbon has been left intact and the bottom is cut away. You need the top wire to shape the bat wings.

2. Spray paint the wings black

I also didn't have black wire ribbon so I hit my wings with a coat of black spray paint!

3. Paint the cork black

Add a small screw eye to the top of your cork and paint the cork and screw eye black (I used acrylic paint).

4. Glue the wings to the body

Next, hot glue the wings to the back of the cork.

5. Add eyes and ears

To finish my bat, I used white acrylic paint to make the eyes and I cut two small triangle ears out of black felt and hot glued those on.

Ghost Cork Ornaments

1. Paint the cork white

To make one ghost ornament, you'll need to add a small screw eye to the top of your cork and paint it white.

2. Cut out white fabric

Next, cut out about six or seven 4-inch squares of white fabric. I used an old polyester t-shirt but use whatever fabric you have on hand.

3. Add thumbtacks

To finish your ghost, use thumbtacks to attach the corner of each fabric square to the base of the cork. I didn't have white tacks so I just painted gold ones white.

4. Paint the eyes

Paint eyes onto your ghost and you're finished!
