When it comes to Halloween, I literally can find a way to leave no stone un-spooked. It happens just once a year, so I say, go all out and craft the heck out of it!
This cute slash spooky black-cat candy bowl was inspired by these kitty cat containers that I made earlier this year…just on a grander scale!
You can find the templates on the link above (just resize them to fit your box), and I’ve edited the how-to below!
Here’s what you need:
- Round 10-inch diameter box
- Scissors
- 4 6-inch table legs
- Tacky glue or hot-glue gun
- Black felt
- Silver cardstock
- 2 metal washers
- Thin wire
- White pen
- Paint table legs and round box black; let dry.
- Poke 4 holes in the bottom of the box and hot-glue the table legs as cat legs.
- Print out templates and resize to fit your box. Trace tail shape twice on felt and the eye/ear shape once. Cut felt pieces out.
- Cut out 2 small cardstock triangles and glue onto the ears.
- Glue washers to the cat’s face as eyes. Glue black felt slivers on top of washers as pupils.
- Glue cat’s face to round box and draw nose and mouth onto the wood, between the eyes.
- Cut a piece of wire, about the length of the tail shape. Glue the wire in between the two pieces of tail felt. Glue the tail to the back of the box.
