Black Cat Paper Plate Halloween Craft
Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s Paper Plate Black Cat Halloween themed kid craft tutorial!
Well my dears… do you remember how I shared our easy Paper Plate Witch craft idea the other day, on Glued To My Crafts? Since every good witch needs a friendly feline to join her in her spook-tacular adventures, today’s craft is just that – a black cat made from inexpensive materials, that is simply PURR-FECT for the Halloween season!
With just a large paper plate, black tissue paper and a ton of glue – you too can whip this Tissue Paper Covered Cat craft together with your child in no time.
Sounds purrrr-rific right? I know, I know – super cheesy but I really hope this kid friendly idea inspires you!

DIRECTIONS:
- First you will want to cut the cat’s body out of your paper plate. {Refer to my first picture in this tutorial}
- Once you have cutout, cut up your black tissue paper into small squares.
- Now cover your paper plate cutout in glue.
- Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the cat is completely covered in “fur.”
- While your child is doing that, cut out the other cat embellishments. Think tail, head, ears, nose, whiskers etc.
- To finish it all off – staple on the tail and head to the paper plate cutout.
- Finally display your Paper Plate Halloween Black Cat proudly for all to see!
