With the nights drawing in, it’s the perfect moment to pull out your pegboards and whip up a little homemade Halloween decoration! This bat with wide-spread wings and bright yellow eyes reads bead by bead: every square on the grid is one fuse bead on your square pegboard.
I’d start with the night-sky background, row by row, then outline the wings in black before filling in the body — it keeps you from losing your place partway through. Since the design is perfectly symmetrical, fuse one half first, then mirror it on the other side to save yourself a lot of time.
Once both sides are nicely ironed flat, your bat makes an adorable fridge magnet or a cute little hanging decoration for a window on Halloween night. A fun, simple classic that’s just right for beginners and kids alike!
