Make It Monday- Halloween Bat Hat Craft for 18" American Girl Dolls

 Make it Monday October 28- A Bat Hat

For today’s Make it Monday Post I wanted to share a fun and easy way to make a Bat Hat for your dolls.

To create your own today you will need:

-Black Felt

-Black Fun Foam

-White Fun Foam

-A Black Marker

-Scissors

-Hot Glue Gun with Glue

-A Side plate

-Your Doll

Step 1- Assemble all your supplies needed. Plug your glue gun in. Fold your felt in half like you would to make a greeting card. Place the plate on the felt so that the top of the plate touches the fold of your felt. Cut out your Hat shape.

Step 2- Cut out your wing shapes. I free hand cut mine from two pieces of black fun foam. So that they matched but you can have two different wings if you like!

Step 3- Cut out two white fun foam circles for the eyes and a small mouth if you would like.

Step 4- Use a black marker to make the pupils of your eyes.

Step 5- Run a line of glue along the round outside edge of one piece of your felt.

Step 6- Gently press your wings into place. Run more glue over the fun foam.

Step 7- Line up and press the other piece of black felt into place to make your hat.

Step 8- Glue your eyes into place and your mouth.

Step 9- Once it is dry place it on your dolls head and enjoy!

I hope you have a happy and safe Halloween. I look forward to sharing more crafts with you again soon.~ Karen Owen aka Karen Mom of Three

Make It Monday- For 18" American Girl Dolls- Pumpkin Patch Craft

 Make it Monday September 30^th

This is my most favorite time of the year and visiting our local pumpkin patches is high on my families list of fall activities. I wanted to make a doll sized version of a pumpkin patch and set out to do so using items from the dollar store. Today’s craft cost less then $6 to create and is no mess.

To make your own Doll Size Pumpkin Patch you will need:

-       A package of small foam pumpkins or gourds with stems

-       One Green chenille stem (the bumpy pipe cleaner)

-       Two regular green pipe cleaners

-       A pair of scissors

-       I bunch of dollar store flowers (you will only use the flower stems leaves so pick something you may use in a later craft)

-       A Halloween themed container for your doll to pick her pumpkins with. The set I got was 3 for $1, I chose the orange one from the set.

Step 1- Assemble all your supplies

Step 2- Bend one regular green pipe cleaner in half and make a cut with your scissors at the bend, repeat on the other green pipe cleaner. You will only need three pieces so save the other green pipe cleaner for another craft.

Step 3- Remove the leaves from the flower stems. I used three flower stem leaves for this pumpkin vine.

Step 4- thread one leaf through the existing leaves hole onto the bumpy pipe cleaner

Step 5- once you have the leaves in place use your smaller cut pipe cleaners on the thinner part of the bumpy pipe cleaner. Shown without the leaves in the photo above bottom right. Twist once so that the pipe cleaner will stay in place.

Step 6- Curl the ends of each of the pipe cleaners as shown in the top right photo. This is where you will “attach” your pumpkin.

Step 7- Add your dollar store pumpkins or gourds, bending your pipe cleaners around each pumpkin stem.

Lay your pumpkin vine on your dolls Farm, I used my American Girl Room Stable but you can use a green piece of fun foam or felt to create your “farm garden”.

Use your Halloween container to help your doll with the harvest.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Make it Monday Post. I look forward to sharing more craft ideas with you again soon.~ Karen Owen aka Karen Mom of Three
