DIY VIYNL RECORD BAT DECORATIONS | RECYCLED KIDS CRAFTS | ATTICANATOMY
HOW TO MAKE A VINYL RECORD
BAT
This Diy is easy and can be easily made into another creature or decor piece, your imagination is the limit with this niffty craft. You will need to make sure you have a few items first....
YOU WILL NEED
*Soldering tool
*Records
*gloves
*safety glasses
*face mask
*pen or pencil
*scissors
* baking pan
*aluminum foil
And a piece of doling OR a stick
First step :
Print or draw out a shape of a the bat onto a sheet of paper, and cut it out
Next, you will want to trace out the bat onto the record using up as much space as it will permit
Second step:
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place the record with the pre drawn on bats onto the pan.
Pre heat your oven to the lowest setting , and place the pan with aluminum foil and record into it.
YOU ONLY WANT TO WARM IT UNTIL PLIABLE DO NOT MELT IT
Keep a close eye on the record, you just want it to get bendable and soft enough to cook, this only takes a minute or so.
Make sure you have your gloves on, and take out the warmed record. At this point you will have to work quickly as the vinyl will start to harden fast after removing it from the heat
Start cutting immediately around your drawn out bat, and then set them aside.
( If your bats harden before you can finish cutting, just place them back into the heat and repeat)
Once they are all cut out from the vinyl, you will want to start shaping them, take all of the vinyl bats you have cut out, and place them onto the sheet, when they become pliable, start molding them with your hands into the position you want them to harden in.
When all of the bats have been shaped and hardened, you will move onto the soldering tool part.
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WITH THIS TOOL IT IS VERY HOT
Take each bat, wearing gloves, and a mask and start to burn holes into the center of the bat , this will be so you can thumb tack some to the walls , also you will want to burn holes off to the edges of some other bats, so you can string them up and attach them to the wooden rod or stick you chose.
In the final stage you just want to cut some string or twine and tie them to the rod and the bat at different lengths to create a ''hanging/flying'' bat appearance.
*Take the glue gun and put small dollops of glue onto the knots on the string or twine to make sure they stay put!
AND THAT'S IT. Enjoy the bat cave you have created.

ORGANIZATION AND EASY DIY MOMMY SOLUTIONS
HELLO EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS LONG AWAITED BLOG POST,
I'm back , the holiday season has come to end for the most part, aside from the great NEW YEARS EVE, event that I do not usually partake in...well...because I like to sleep? lol, I will be keeping up with my blogging from now on !! I just finished up with vlogmas on youtube, and if you would like to check those out you can click right here on THIS link :)
With the new year coming I have found my self thinking more and more about those RESOLUTIONS we all find our selves making around this time of year, and I have decided without debate that I MUST de-clutter and become a more organized human! I have been looking on pintrest for some creative new 'simple living' decor and storage ideas and I have found a few I am going to share with you all.. with a bit of design diy and some decor..this is an awesome storage for short people lol...
I found it HERE
But I don't think this would work for my space, but I was thinking great for a kids room??
I have been looking for ways to improve on my ebay/etsy/online stock room, and I am thinking something simple like the link below, but maybe in a clear style bin? or colored bins for a better 'shelf apeal. ?? Hmmm
I found this HERE
after awhile of stumbling through the land of pintrest I started thinking about how to improve this big empty,'imaginationLESS' (not a real word ) playroom we have downstairs...it is white and plain and boring and we just have toys and books in totes as 'toy boxes..so I saw this...
I found this HERE
And I am already mapping out the blueprints in my head as I type! this I think will be at the top of the 'HONEY DO' list!
Right in the next room over you would walk into my VERY dark and dungeon like laundry room
everything is CRAZY and I have miss match baskets! The whole house must think we have a laundry fairy , who magically sorts, washes and folds all the laundry I have one sloppy side 'folding table and piles of clothing that I have to sort! this made me think of a few ideas to make it easier on our laundry fairy', and maybe give those ungrateful little slave drivers a hint .. ehhh LOL jk. but seriously.. great idea...
I found this HERE
which brings me to some much needed kitchen issues that need to be addressed, although I do have a large pantry and another one close by with a door...I have to admit, when it comes time to put away those pots and pans... I am a big FAIL! I just had matching up the sizes and stacking them like janga blocks EVERY time I need to put away or use a pot. So it ends up just being a sloppy pile of metal and glass lids, which just avalanche out onto my feet every time I need one... WELL let me tell you.. I just found the solution! ...
you can find these pins HERE and HERE
I have found so many amazing things on pintrest to help me find some organizational INSPIRATION, and I can't wait to get started on a fresh start on many paths in my life, health,fitness and all that good stuff! I will post my before and afters as I go, and will probably be making some video progression on my Youtube channel as well, so be sure to stop in and check it out, I would love to hear from you guys and see some of the organization pins you might have found!
Talk to you soon! <3
