Cut away the top and bottom panels of the 1″ section. Cut down the top and bottom panels of the next section (1-7/8″) to anything between 1/2″ and 3/4″. Cut all of the score lines from the top and bottom to the intersecting score line.
Stamp one of the bats from Oddball Batty Duo and colour using your preferred medium.
Adhere the bat to the box front using foam tape. Apply a dot of glue to the end of the cherry stalk and glue down.
This is a very cute treat box… I love the bats. I live in Austin, Texas … we have thousands of bats that stay under our Congress Street bridge from ~ April – end-Sept./early-Oct. – and they fly out as soon as the sun goes down, ~8:30/9 PM, every night. Thousands of people come out to watch each night.
This little bat reminds me of those nights. Great coloring and a wonderful little box of treats to give to a friend. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
