Craft Supplies:
Before you begin, gather all the necessary materials. Here’s a list of basic supplies you’ll need:
- Cat Printable – from box.com
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Scissors
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Cardstock Paper {in fall colors}
- Large Yellow Cupcake Liner
- Adhesive
- Star Stickers/Embellishments
Directions:
- First things first – grab our free cat printable, listed above in the supply list.
- Go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in ONE of the cat designs however you like.
- When done coloring, trim it out and save the second design to repeat this craft.
- At this point in time you can also add two googly eyes & a heart nose to the cat cutout as well.
- Now grab a single sheet of tan or brown cardstock paper and your choice of writing utensil.
- Pick a hand – any hand will do!
- Lay it flat on the cardstock paper and trace around the hand & arm. This is the start of the tree branch.
- When ready, trim out the traced design with your scissors.
- Next up – grab your glue stick and glue the handprint/arm cutout to your gray cardstock paper. You just want to make sure you leave plenty of room for the cat to sit.
- Now flatten out your yellow cupcake liner and glue it down for the “moon” in the design.
- Follow that up by gluing down the cat cutout on the “tree branch.”
- The last step is to cut out a few small leaves from various colors of cardstock paper and glue those on as well.
- Now add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then display your black cat on tree branch paper piece proudly for all to admire!
MAKE IT YOUR OWN TODAY: to change it up, go ahead and glue on natural materials such as leaves from outside or perhaps even a small handfuls of twigs
