- Age Guideline: 6 Years and Up
- Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)
The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed:
- Bow Tie Shaped Noodle
- Penee or Similar Shaped Noodle
- Paint
- Yarn
- Craft Glue
- Scissors
- Paint Brush
Instructions:
Paint the noodles black and let them dry.Paint a tiny face on your noodle bat and let that dry.
Cut a piece of yarn about 5-inches long. Thread one end of the yarn through the hole in the penne noodle and tie it in a knot to the other end. Make sure it is just a little loose because you will be stringing a large piece of yarn through the "loop" of this yarn to make your necklace. Trim off any extra yarn.
Glue the bow tie pasta onto the center of the penne noodle to make the bat's wings. This should be on the side opposite the wings. Try to hide the knot from the yarn under the bow tie pasta.
Cut a piece of yarn long enough to fit over your head once the ends are tied together. String one end of this piece of yarn through the "loop" left by the yarn you tied through the penne noodle. Tie the ends of the yarn together to make your necklace!
For a variation of this idea, use fishing line instead of yarn and you can hang these up as flying bat decorations!
