2 X 4 Black Cat Trio Halloween Craft Decor

Make this simple black cat Halloween craft from 2x4 pieces, a little paint, ribbon and wiggle eyes! An inexpensive way to decorate your house for Halloween! blank630x20
This trio of kitties are adorable and you can throw them together in minutes once you have your wood.  I used 2 x 4 scraps but 1 x 4 wood  also works great.  You can cut the ear part with a good hand saw if that’s all you have.  Paint them and add some ribbon and googly wiggle eyes. Set them in your window and see if you don’t get compliments on ’em! There’s a downloadable pattern if needed but mine are basically 6″, 5″ and 4″ tall with a triangle cut out to form the ears. A super easy Halloween craft!


Supplies

  • 2×4 or 1×4 wood scraps.
  • Saw to cut ears.
  • Black paint.
  • Wiggle eyes
  • Ribbon
  • Hot Glue
  • Charm for collar (optional)

For Tiny Spider
