Paper Halloween Kid Craft – Black Cat On Tree Branch

Today we are combining a few different elements to make this paper and wooden spoon Halloween kid craft idea come to life.

I originally was inspired by a post I saw on Instagram yesterday. Not sure if it’s their original idea but I decided to give it my own flair and share what I came up with, right here on Glued To My Crafts.

So drum roll please… here is our Halloween Black Cat On Tree Branch art project idea. Our black cat is sitting on a basic tree branch, staring out at a full moon. My favorite part {and if you see the vision} is the long cat tail that is the handle part of the wooden spoon. I then combined a few paper embellishments and a few felt stickers from Dollar Tree to complete the look.

Overall, this craft idea can be changed to reflect what you may or may not have on hand. It’s just a fun mixed media art project, that will really awaken those creative juices! The important part is the wooden spoon and they can be bought via our Amazon affiliate link. Everything else is subjective so don’t feel limited by our tutorial! I highly encourage you to add and/or substitute what you want!

Now friends – what are you waiting for?! This black cat on tree branch idea is PURR-FECT to make ANY DAY of the week, leading up to Halloween night. So will it make it on your to-do list this spook-tacular season? I sure hope so!

Happy crafting, my friends! When you do make our Halloween black cat art project, be sure to tag us on Facebook or use our special brand #gluedtomycrafts hashtag for us to see & share from!
