This handprint not only leaves you with some spooky skeleton hands, but also lets you give your kids a little 101 on prehistoric art as well as human anatomy. These spooky Halloween skeleton handprints are a great craft for younger kids and art-savvy older kids alike.

Head over to your craft supply pumpkin patch and pick the best supplies for this project. It’s all up to you and what you want as the final display for this craft.
Doing that does increase the strength, but it also cancels out the stained-glass look. You can either leave the back “open” for a wonderful stained-glass pumpkin effect, or you can add another layer of orange construction paper to make this a little more durable. This is also a great craft for older siblings to help out with. The guide suggests letting your littlest tackle sticking on Halloween tissue squares while you handle cutting out the picture and doing the final assembly, and we couldn't agree more. This project takes a picture that could be of family, your kids, or a surprise for your partner, and creates a DIY stained-glass window. You’ll definitely need an adult to help your kids through this process, but the end result is going to be totally worth it. If you want to go an extra step and have a few extra minutes, use white thread to stitch on wiskers and a mouth.Īnd that is it! You can make these kitties out of all different sizes and patterns of socks, and I’m betting they’d look marvelous in a group as a neat Halloween decoration.Why not brighten up the Halloween mood with this little pumpkin suncatcher. Tie a bow with ribbon around the neck (this is 7/8 inch ribbon in this photo), and glue gun on two button eyes and cut a pink triangle from felt for the nose. This will be enough to keep the sock closed and the slightly irregular kid stitches will give it lots of charm!Īll that’s left is to add the little pieces that will make your black cat extra cute. Starting with the point of one ear and working towards the other, put a quick whip stitch across the top of your stuffed sock using black thread. If at this point, you realize you might have been too generous with cutting the height of your cat, you can trim your sock down a little more so your cat looks proportionate.Īfter the belly and head are in, I like to push the poly-fill around a little bit to make sure I’ve got a pretty defined head and tummy area. This will be the cat’s belly.Īfter the belly is stuffed in, push another ball of poly-fill in to make the head. Try to make a fairly firm ball in the sock. Take a good size handfull of poly-fill and stuff it into the toe of your sock.
Be sure to leave some big pointy ears for your cat! Eyeball how large you might want your black cat to be and then cut the sock in an arc that points down to the toe of the sock. You’ll want to flatten the sock out so the heel is on the back before you snip any material. And since every witch needs a black cat, it was the perfect craft project for our witchy tea party.
This craft was field tested with a dazzling group of 8 year olds, and it was easy enough for this age as it only required very minor sewing skills. So instead of throwing them away, I re-purposed them into this fun Black Sock Cat craft your kids can do in a jiff. There were so many with out matches, we had to get rid of a whole bunch of perfectly good socks.
I’m part of a fun little group that puts together seasonal 15 minute craft tutorials–and with Halloween so close, we’ve got a whole bunch of great Craft Lightning Halloween projects coming your way! My project was inspired by a recent purge of my husbands sock drawer.
