Egg carton black cat

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

These egg carton cats are fun to make for Halloween, or give them a more mellow look for year-round cat craft fun.

black cat from egg carton
What You Need: 2 egg carton cups; black tempera paint; yellow construction paper; pink construction paper; black marker; 1/2 black pipe cleaner; glue; transparent tape.
How You Make It: Cut one egg carton cup leaving two sections protruding for ears. Cut other so there are four “leg” sections. Paint both egg carton pieces black and let dry. Cut out strips on yellow construction paper for eyes and whiskers and a pink triangle for a nose. Add pupil to eye with black marker. Glue to front of one egg cup, being sure to position “ears” how you’d like them. Glue cups together to form cat. (You may have to hold them while they dry.) Glue or tape on pipe cleaner for tail.
