DIY Cat Card Pull Tongue Money Holder
Here, we devised a charming and personalized way to gift money with a creative twist. You start by using a craft cutter like a Cricut to cut out a cat design from cardstock in four colors based on a provided SVG or Cricut Design Space file. After cutting the card's pieces, you assemble the cat's face on the front of the card, but be careful to position the mouth so there is room for the 'tongue' money holder.
Use an Exacto knife to create a slit in the mouth, where a wrapped bill will be inserted as the 'tongue.' Secure the money with washi tape, then slide it into the slit. To conceal the mechanism, glue another piece of cardstock on the edges of the back of the front face. This leaves space for the money-wrapped 'tongue' while allowing for easy pulling. Finally, fold the card in half, write a touching message inside. And your sweet, interactive monetary gift is ready to delight the recipient.
Handprint Black Cat Craft
Creating this Handprint Black Cat Craft is a simple activity perfect for kids. All you need is black paper, a pencil, a white or silver gel pen, wiggle eyes, scissors, and glue.

Round the 'palm' section for a more cat-like appearance, cut out a separate head shape with ears and then attach it. Stick on wiggle eyes for character and use a gel pen to add details like a mouth, whiskers, and claws on the paper 'legs.' This easy and playful craft produces a cute, Halloween-ready black cat and makes for a sweet keepsake memento.
Cat Storage Baskets
Cat Storage Baskets are a delightful craft project you can create with your kids. This easy and adorable activity offers a fun crafting experience and a unique storage solution. To make a cat basket, you will start with jute rope (25-foot for a small basket, 30-foot for a large one). Forming the base by coiling the rope and securing it with tacky glue into a circle (4 ½-inch diameter for a small, 6-inch for a large).
As you build up the sides to the desired height (4 ½ inches for the small and 6 inches for the large basket), apply glue every 1 to 2 inches. For the cat's ears, fold the rope into shape, attach them with hot glue (an adult should do this part) and space them apart. Add personality by gluing on black embroidery floss for whiskers, a pink button for the nose, wooden craft shapes for eyes and a rope tail.
