Easy Paper Quilled Halloween Bat Earrings
From the designer: "These Paper Quilled Halloween Bat Earrings are the perfect mix of spooky and stylish! Using simple quilling techniques, strips of black quilling paper are rolled, shaped, and glued to form miniature bat silhouettes that are lightweight yet durable enough for everyday wear. A touch of silver, black, or gunmetal earring findings adds a polished finish and makes them easy to coordinate with any Halloween outfit. This project takes less than an hour to complete once you have your quilling paper, slotted tool, glue, and earring hooks ready. Beginners will find the steps quite easy to achieve, while more experienced quillers can enjoy experimenting with size, color accents, or even adding a bit of glitter for extra sparkle. Because the earrings are so light, they’re comfortable to wear all day or evening long.
Tip to make your earrings last longer: sealing your finished bats with a thin coat of clear varnish or Mod Podge helps them keep their shape and last for many spooky seasons to come!"
