Instructions:
1. Trace the bat shape twice onto black felt and cut out.
2. Place the right sides facing each other and begin to sew using blanket stitch. While sewing, carry the fringe yarn along with the thread and sew it under the blanket stitch. If necessary, when finished, you may need to pull the fringe out from under the thread.
3. Before finishing off your bat, stuff it lightly with fiber fill.
4. Cut a piece of fringe yarn and create a loop. Sew it to the top of the head between the ears.
5. Sew on two beads for the eyes.
