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.

DIY PLAY DOUGH WITH KIDS - THEY LOVE IT

DIY PLAY CLAY 

ALMOST EVERY kid loves a good play time with the handmade/homemade play dough..especially if they made it ' all by them selves', I have recently done this one with my own children,  a few cookie cutters and , READY SET GO... this is how you do it : 

Tools you will need:

A large pot
large stirring spoon
large dry surface for kneading the dough 

and well... a stove top lol... the ingredient list is quite simple as well and you may find you already have them stocked in the kitchen... all you will need is:

Play Dough Recipe:

1 cup white flour

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoon cream of tartar (find it in the spice section)

1 tablespoon oil

1 cup water

food coloring


What you will want to do next is mix all the dry ingredients into the pot, then slowly add the water and food coloring mix ( add the food coloring into the water, the more you add the darker the color in the dough will become), and mix well
Then you want to put the stove top burner to medium heat and stir constantly.
-DO NOT LEAVE ON BURNER IT WILL RUIN IT AND BE IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OUT-

The dough will become harder to stir, and you will need to use those mommy muscles at this point!
Stir until the dough turns into a large solid clump and you can no longer stir it, and remove from heat.

at this point I recommend you have a pre floured surface, such as a cutting board or counter top, and knead the dough for approx 5 minutes or until it doesn't have the sticky feeling anymore,
(Kids love doing that part, so let them do it, you're arms will be tired from stirring anyway lol  but be careful, as it will be hot to touch for a few minutes )
keep adding small sprinkles of flour as needed to get it to the right texture.
and then YOU ARE DONE!
I will be putting up the video of my children making the dough, they had so much fun and 1 week later they are STILL entertained by it.
TIP: Grab some cookie cutters from the dollar store ( little boys love the gingerbread man cut outs to make little action men from the dough)
