- Silver or gold glitter (optional)
- Glue
- Scissors

Instructions:
- Lay one coffee filter out flat, and then cut it in half.
- Paint one half purple with watercolor paint and one half black with watercolor paint. Let them dry for 20 minutes.
- While they are drying, paint a clothes pin black with acrylic paint and add glitter if you would like.
- Stick 2 googley eyes at the top of the clothes pin.
- Take your dried coffee filter halves and on the rounded side’s edges, cut small half circles to form points on the wings.
- Place the purple filter on the inside of the black filter and scrunch them in the middle to make the wings curve slightly.
- Glue one end of the piece of string onto the back of the clothes pin.
- Once dry, hang on your porch for all the trick or treaters to see these boo-tiful bats!
