Black Cat Pinata

A black cat no one will be afraid of! This is an easy craft to put together and a party favorite! You will need:

• 2 black Chinese lanterns (one small, one large)
• 1 piece of black construction paper (8x12 or 12x12 should be enough)
• 1 small piece of white construction paper
• 1 craft black pom pom
• white craft wire (about 18 inches worth)
• 2 brass brads
• glue gun
• candy
• glitter confetti
• plastic bat

1. Glue the 2 lanterns together, the small one for the head and the large one for the body.
2. Trace the bottom lantern hole onto the black construction paper, cut out and glue to bottom. 
3. Cut out triangles from the black construction paper for ear and glue on.
4. Cut out triangles from the white construction paper for the eyes and attach with brass brads.
5. Glue the black pompom on for the nose.
6. Cut white craft wire in half.
7. Twist and bend up the white craft wire for whiskers.
8. Poke the wires through the lantern to stick out around where you glued the pom pom nose.
9. Fill with candy at the top! This is when I put the glitter confetti in as well it's just for sparkle.

Sometimes I attach a wide wired ribbon around the neck to cover up my glue as well as to add to the decoration. I also decorate the plastic bat with plastic holiday garland. Don't forget to have small bags for the kiddos to put their candy in once the pinata breaks. I assure you some fun will be had by witches and warlocks alike.
