Black Cat On Fence Halloween Craft Idea

If you’ve got it – haunt it! Last year I had a Black Cat In Pumpkin craft tutorial that went VIRAL on Glued To My Crafts.

It did so well last year, that I had to press my luck again and give the free template printable in that particular post, a new spin for my readers. So here I am, showing how you can take my original black cat file and make it come to life in another “frightfully good” way! All you need is paper, coloring materials and a little glue to bring it to life!

With all this being said, you will have TWO cat-tastic craft ideas {both of which are wickedly awesome} to make with your little one this Halloween season. One download but two opportunities for crafty fun!

So my dear friends, come sit for a spell as I tell you more about this Paper Black Cat On Fence kid craft idea. All the details can be found below, along with the free download to get you started within minutes!

Happy crafting and don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s paper Halloween cat on fence creation with us, on Facebook. It really lights up my day to see when readers share with us! Even if it’s just kind words thanking me for the idea, I would love to hear from you! #gluedtomycrafts

PAIR YOUR HALLOWEEN CAT CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Spider Web

Craft Supplies:

Free Black Cat Printable Template {grab it on box.com}
White Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Crayons, Pencils, Markers etc.
Paper Craft Scissors
Gray Colored Cardstock Paper
Yellow Colored Cardstock Paper
Brown Colored Cardstock Paper
Scrapbook Halloween Print Paper
Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
Large Eyeball Stickers or Wiggle Eyes
optional materials – Halloween stickers, glitter glue

Directions:

First things first – print out the blank cat template listed above in the supply list.
Print it out, on simple white cardstock paper. You only need ONE cat printable per Halloween craft.
Next up – grab a black crayon {or marker, pencil etc.} and lightly color the cat’s face and paws in the printable {feel free to also change up the color if you like!}
Once done with the coloring step, trim out each section in the printable and set them all aside.
Discard excess paper.
Now grab all your colored cardstock paper pieces and scissors.
The gray cardstock paper will be your “night” background color. Leave this piece un-cut and set aside.
Grab the yellow colored cardstock paper and cut out a large circular moon.
Grab the brown colored cardstock paper and cut out a rectangle shape from it. Not too big though, it should only cover 1/4 of your gray paper.
Use a brown crayon to make the rectangle piece you just made, look like a fence. Draw straight lines and a few squiggles for details.
Out of the scrapbook paper {or a solid color} cut out a witch hat for your cat.
Cut out anything else you think your night sky may need or your black cat might want to wear.
Once everything is cut out, we are ready to assemble everything! Grab ALL the paper pieces and the glue stick.
Start off my gluing down the fence piece on the bottom of the gray paper.
Next up – the moon in the background.
Finally – add the cat head above the fence, followed by the paws on the edge of the fence line {see our picture for an example.} You want it to look like the cat in holding on/peeking over the fence.
Go ahead and also glue on the witch’s hat to give the cat that Halloween feel.
Last step – the wiggle eyes. Glue those in place on the cat’s face.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {like a few stickers in the background} before displaying your paper black cat on fence art project, for all to see!
It’s your time to shine! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts
