16 FREE Printable Black Cat Templates For Halloween (Or just because…)
I absolutely am a bit cat mad ( I have my own sweet fur baby). So anything to do with felines gets me excited! Black cats are just as much a part of the Halloween season as pumpkins, costumes, and trick-or-treating. Also, check out this great article if you have a ginger kitten, and are looking for female orange cat names for your new baby!
What can you do with your printable black cat templates?
All of these black cat template printables can be used in your art journal, creative journal, junk journal, bullet journal (I love them all!). If you’re looking for some feline fun check out cat challenges to do with your cat.
Use them for crafting, school projects, décor, posters, bulletin boards, invitations, wedding stationery (hmmm… I won’t judge you if that’s your thing), birthday cards… and really anything your mind can conceive of!
8 Fun Ways To Use The Free Printable Cat Templates…
Halloween Décor or just plain spooky décor
Print out the cat templates and stick them onto your front door, postbox, windows, or walls using Blu tack or masking tape.
Use the bat template for pumpkin carving
Print out the cat template and trace it onto a pumpkin. Cut your shape from the pumpkin with a sharp knife or a carving tool (children will need an adult to help them with this), then use an ice cream scoop to remove all of the seeds inside before you carve!
Art Journaling
Use your cat templates to document a spooky story as part of the background for an art journal page or even just to doodle on.
Invitations
Create a cute kitty invitation using the templates above to announce your Halloween party! In this way, you can tell people what they should wear and how they will be able to find your home.
Coloring in
You can use these cat templates to do coloring-in activities, either for yourself or with kids! If you want them to be something other than black and white, print the template on colored paper.
Create Stickers
These cats make the perfect images for you to make your own Halloween kitty stickers – print the cat template on sticker paper and cutting out the cat shapes. You can then use these stickers for anything you like!
Use them as a fun way to label party favors, package up treats in gift bags or boxes, make place cards for your dinner table at Halloween and Christmas parties… the possibilities are endless with these printable templates!
Use them for decorating
Print your black cat templates out on the back of cardstock and use these as decorations for your Halloween party, or anywhere you like! Print them on normal paper and cut them out for décor, embellishments, and other crafty projects!
Print them on different paper
Try printing them on texture paper or even tracing paper. You can really get some great effects!
Watercolor Brush Pen Cats
I have used watercolor brush pens to create a tied-died bat effect using one of the cat templates above. This is a fun and easy brush pen project that is great for both children and adults!
Watercolor brush pens are awesome for creating a watercolor effect for art and craft projects. To help you out, I have put together these printable templates so that all you have to do is transfer the shape onto your watercolor paper and get on with the painting!
If you would like to try this out, you should transfer the cat template to watercolor paper. Follow the steps below to get started…
How to Transfer the Cat Outline to Watercolor Paper
- Print out your cat template on standard printer paper or color paper.
- Tape your printed template to a window with light behind it so that you can see the outline of the bat coming through.
- Using a soft pencil (2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B), trace over the printed outline of the bat that you can see through the paper. Do this quite firmly so that you have left enough pencil on the surface to be transferred easily onto the watercolor paper.
- Place your printed cat template with the traced pencil outline face-down on your watercolor paper.
- Using your pencil once again, trace the printed bat outline so that the pencil line gets transferred to your watercolor paper.
- Voila! You have your transferred shape, and you don’t need to hand- draw it yourself!
- Now you can use your watercolor or watercolor brush pens and start your painting!
