Make a splash at your next masquerade party with this purr-fect black cat costume.
You Will Need
- A six-inch by six-inch square of cardboard
- 2/3-yard of black felt
- Glue
- A black headband
- A long black stocking
- A large safety pin
- A black turtleneck
- Black leggings
- Black shoes
- Black eyeliner pencil
- Two black socks
Step 1: Draw and cut out two triangles
Draw two triangles on a piece of cardboard and cut them out. These will be your cat ears.
Find free cardboard boxes at local convenience or grocery stores.
Step 2: Cut and paste the felt
Cut out two pieces of felt of the same size and shape as the cardboard triangles and glue the felt onto the cardboard.
Step 3: Glue ears to a headband
Glue your two felt and cardboard ears to a black headband.
Allow the glue to dry completely before putting the headband on your head.
Step 4: Stuff your stocking
Stuff the unused black felt into your long black stocking to create the tail. Pin the tail to the back of your leggings.
Step 5: Put on your costume
Put on your black leggings with the tail, turtle neck, headband, and black shoes.
Find inexpensive turtle necks and black shoes at consignment shops.
Step 6: Draw your whiskers and nose
Draw whiskers around your mouth with black eyeliner. Draw and color a small triangle on your nose.
Step 7: Put on your paws
Pull a black sock over each hand to create your paws. Now you’re ready to pounce!
The number of feral cats in the U.S. is estimated to be in the tens of millions.
