Finding a cat stencil was really easy, but finding a cat mini stencil was far less so. In thinking about what design I wanted to do for a pumpkin, it was of course going to be a cat. You may know I’m a cat lover, as I’ve made several cat crafts over the years. I don’t know what happened, but I’m back! Many years ago I was a renter and always decorated. Up until this year we had been renting our home and I guess over the past decade-or-so, I felt like there was no need to decorate much for holidays.īut now that we own our home, I’ve been bitten (no pun intended –truly)!īelieve it or not, I wasn’t always this way. This Nyan Cat costume would cost one about $20 or less, depending on the materials already on hand in the house.Up your spooky season decorating and learn how to carve a mini pumpkin for Halloween this year. One could also easily just print out Nyan Cats face and walk around with that on a stick and hold it up like a mask if they wanted and didn't own cat ears or other materials for the face. For my cat ears, I just had a gray hat with cat ears on them already that I used. For the face I just used some leftover construction paper and taped pink circles to my face, and used some gray face paint form Party City ($2.00). I put them on my shoulders to measure and had someone help me with making sure they weren't hanging too low or high. I did 2 poptarts and attached them using yarn and tape ($0.00- had around the house). Then for the rainbow bottom I used streamers that I picked up from Party City ($1.00 each- total $6.00) and taped them to the back of the foam board. ![]() I picked up a couple of small foam boards from Walmart ($2.00 each- one for the back and one for the front)and used a brown paper bag for the border of the poptart ($0.00) and pink and red construction paper taped to the foam board ($3.00 giant pack of construction paper from Walmart). If someone were to purchase all the raw materials for this Grumpy Cat costume it could most likely cost them under $20 Then we created the headband with some pipe cleaner (Only 1 black one, bent into triangle shape) and a half sheet of brown construction paper for the ears and twisted them onto the headband. We also just used costume makeup from Walmart (White and Brown, $2.00 each) and some of my dark brown eye shadow for the face painting. We cut out the letters N and O, and ironed the inverse of them (so it had a hole in the paper, and wasn't the physical N or O) on the shirt, then sprayed the paint onto the shirt. For Grumpy Cat, we just got a plain white t-shirt we had ($0.00) plus stenciled on the word 'NO' with fabric spray paint ($6.00) by using freezer paper ($2.00). ![]() My girlfriend and I wanted to try and do a couples costume that we were sure we weren't going to see all over the place this Halloween, but would still be somewhat matching and have a good time with, so we picked to be famous internet cat meme's Grumpy Cat and Nyan Cat.
