Bat Jar

A simple jar gets a spooky spin with this fun bat craft.

Tools and Materials
Bat template
White or cream card stock
Scissors
Xyron Creative Station with permanent adhesive cartridge
Black beans
White beans (like cannellini)
Large jar or container
Bubble wrap, empty plastic container with lid, or other item to act as filler

Bat Jar How-To
1. Print bat template on card stock. Trim card stock to a size to fit the jar or container, and run through Xyron so the front of the template is covered in adhesive.

2. Peel paper to expose adhesive. Cover the black area with black beans, and the white area with white beans.

3. When the sheet is fully covered, curve and slide into jar or container. Press against glass.

4. Fill jar with white beans.

Tip: To offset the amount of beans needed to fill the jar, place an empty plastic container or a ball of bubble wrap in the center of the jar. Fill around the item and to the top of the jar with white beans.
