You'll need
Directions
- Download the 'Everyday Dishes & DIY Halloween Stir Sticks' printable file and open it in Adobe Reader. Print the document onto a sheet of white card stock.
- Position a ruler along the designated score lines on the printed sheet. Gently trace over these lines with an X-acto knife to create crease marks.
- Fold the white card stock along the scored lines. Take a pair of scissors and carefully cut out one of the bat shapes to serve as your cutting guide.
- Place a ruler on the black card stock or scrapbook paper and score a line down the middle. Fold the paper in half along this crease. Position your bat template over the folded edge and cut around it. Because the paper is folded, this single cut will produce two symmetrical bats.
- Locate the two marked lines in the center of each bat shape and cut along them. Slide a plastic stir stick into the slits to complete your festive drink accessory.
