 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Curl, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make these really quick and easy bat wraps, that's what I'm calling them. Inside each of these lovely, cute little bats is a packet of Smarties. So these are going to be perfect for any parties that may be going on around Halloween. Perfect for Halloween night, for trick or treat, little gifts, but also just fun to have at the dinner table if you're having a Halloween meal. I think they're really, really sweet. Now the bats wings I cut from my cricket machine and I will share that one that I used on my blog, but I will show you how you can make it using a one inch punch or any kind of small size circle really you can do, but a punch will be easier because it's quicker, but yes there's a little bit of punch art going on as well, but they're really, really sweet and I put these together in no time at all. They were so fast to do and they've got little googly eyes there as well. So let's just push all them up. So I've got 18 I think it is all together. Okay so to make one of these bat wraps you want a piece of card stock that is two and one-eighth of an inch by three and three quarters. That's the size if you've got these Smarties. I brought these from the co-op and they were in a bag of 18 and that's how they come. So I think that's quite a standard Smartie box size. I've seen these around a lot so I'm just going to run a piece of red tape just along the bottom there. I'm not doing any scoring I'm literally wrapping it around because it's just quick. You know these are going to get devoured thrown in the bin so quickly you don't need to spend a lot of time on it. So I'm going to sit the Smartie there in the in the middle and then I'm just going to bring up one side so it's roughly in the center and then bring up the other side. Keep it quite tight and all lined up. There we go and there it is one wrap. Okay and then I want that bit of the top because it's plain that one's got the expiry date and then we've got our bat wings so I've got one to go either side like that. So what I'm going to do is just round round just curl those slightly okay so they are going to go like this. Now if you want to make the wings similar size to me you will need two pieces because you'll need one for each side of three by two and one eighth ish and what you want to do because I use this as my kind of actually that is the one I use. See I've even gotten confused that's the matching one this is the one that I punched as you can see how similar they are they're pretty pretty good. Okay so what I done with the one inch punch turn it upside down so you can see what you're doing and I came up from the bottom left corner here and just kind of you can see where I've got it positioned there there's the corner of it so just kind of off slightly there to the left punch that out okay so there's one then the next one you want to overlap slightly because you want to have this as a point okay so I'm just going to pop it back in again about there make sure it's overlapping okay so you can see now we've got this effect here we've just created here and then this one you want to pop it in and you want it to go hit the edge hit the end as well you may need to okay and then the last one you pop in do the same don't worry about the end overlap this part again so you get a nice point I'm going to come up a little bit higher okay like so and then the rest you're going to cut by hand so what I would do is have this as your template and then draw around this because all you can do is you can have them all facing that way and then you just flip whatever one you need for the the left or the right depending on which one you've done first so then I'm going to come right up from this bit here not the outer side this inside part here and just create a wing like so and then just come in like that and there you have a batwing so there's the one that I cut on my cricket and there's the one I done by hand so that one I've gone down a little bit if you wanted to go more straighter then you could just come up like that okay both look the same if I put that one behind there there's the one that I hand cut I think it looks brilliant if you want to distress it you can put some you know veins in there and things like that then go for it you may only just be making a few for like a table favor or something so because I've done quite a few of these I just thought I'm going to do this on my cricket so the ones I've got my two pieces there matching I'm just going to grab my glue and just pop a little bit there it's up to you where you position it I've had it so the point here is just above the top slightly and that one there sticking out from the bottom again this one here I just stick it on there and then kind of hold it up and you can move it around so they're in the right place there we go and then I got a bag of these googly eyes you can pick these up in any craft shop where there's children stuff the range have them I think the pound shop even have them the works online just yeah just type that in and you will find them I just popped a little bit of glue on the back and then you have it a cute little bat wrap what should we call him I think he needs a little name Barry the bat that's quite fun so yeah really quick I think that's a really really fast tutorial as well if I took out all my talking and just went straight into it I think this could be a yeah one of the fastest I've done so there you have it you could do this as a bird you could have this you know any other flying object creature whatever it is you're going to do I think it's really fun you could have some I know alien kind of looking creature so yeah have fun with it you've been doing it and we'll be back again tomorrow with another tutorial thanks for watching bye
