This paper cup black cat is such an easy last minute Halloween craft idea for kids. Because of it’s glowing nose, you can also make it as a cheap Halloween decoration.
Make several and place them in front of your house or by the window on Halloween night. They will be cute and a little spooky.
This black cat is the last paper cup craft in our Halloween collection. It’s a series that we started last year. We tried to incorporate as many Halloween characters as possible in our collection. Here are our most popular ones:
They are all made from paper cups and have glowing noses from flameless tea light candles.
Although this paper cup black cat is part of our Halloween collection, you can actually make it any time of the year. Color it gray, brown, ginger, cream or leave it white. Maybe you have a cat pet at home or your kid loves cats. You can pair it with a pet book for kids. A cat craft is also great for a letter C or an animal study unit.
No matter the reason you’re looking for a cat craft idea or the color you will give to your cat, kids will have fun making it.
If you are including the black cat in your Halloween crafting, feel free to personalize it with different eye or ear colors.
