Black Cat Halloween Arts and Crafts

We do love a good cat craft, and Halloween is a great excuse to make a whole bunch.

One of our favorite Halloween themed cretures to get crafty with is certainly the black cat. Younger kids will love making the handprint cat (such a great Halloween handprint art idea) – either by stamping their hands or by tracing them on black paper and cutting them out.

Spotlighting just a few of our favorites here, you will find simple hand tracing crafts that turn into wonderful cat and are perfect for preschoolers (toddlers even with some help) to 3D paper crafts that will bring a smile on any kids face.

Take your macrama skills to the next level with these adorable little spirits. Begin by painting embroidery hoops with black paint and let dry. Cut equal lengths of macrame cord about 50” long (you will need 12 - 14 pieces of cord per hoop). Then, begin to form your knots (we used the Lark's Head knot).

Repeat around the top of the hoop.
