Who says you have to display a Jack O Lantern in your porch this Halloween?! Why not display my cat lantern craft instead.

During October people are doing lots of different Halloween crafts featuring witches, monsters, zombies, spiders, pumpkins and of course black cats!

Black cats are said to be lucky so if you do not have a pet cat why not make one of my cute cat luminary crafts and display it in your porch or on a windowsill.

My Halloween cat craft with toilet paper roll can also be made at the same time if you want to do a black cat craft themed day!

If you are doing this craft at another time of the year why not combine it with some of my other best cat crafts for kids.

Of course you can use this all year but I think it looks best during Halloween. Even better if you are planning on having a Halloween party and are looking for lots of decorations to make your house more spooky! My haunted house lantern craft is another great idea!
