Hands on craft
You can see how to make this craft by watching the following video:
- We cut out the pieces in black cardboard: a heart with a rounded tip for the head, a thin strip of about 15 cm for the tail and a strip of about 20 cm a little wider than the heart for the body. We also cut two triangles for the ears.
- We also cut out the pieces of the cardboard of the other color: two triangles smaller than those on the black cardboard, a tiny circle for the nose, and six thin strips for the whiskers.
- We started to assemble and glue our Halloween cat. We catch the widest strip intended for the body and we glue it making a circle. We are going to support the cardboard on the table and press one side to fold the cardboard, we repeat the same action on the other side to create a flat area that will be the base of the figure. The important thing is that when making the second double we leave margin in the upper part so that an arch is created.
- We take the heart and we are going to use it inverted so that the pointed area will be the top of the head. We glue the small triangles on top of the large black ones forming the ears that we will pay on the head as well as the nose and whiskers. We have the eyes, I have chosen a large size.
- We glue the head to the body from the bottom of it so that the area of the ears are in the air.
- To finish we curl the tail with the scissors a little and glue it to the body.
And ready! We already have our cardboard black cat to decorate on Halloween.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
