Make These Cool Cat Costumes Inspired by Iconic Halloween Movie Villains

Start with a red and green piece of fabric.

Add a little water to the brown acrylic paint. Then apply the paint to the red and green pieces of felt for a more distressed look. Let it dry.

Create the iconic movie sweater by using fabric scissors to cut out a wide stretched bib from the red felt. Make sure to leave long flaps so it fits loosely around your cat’s neck.

Then, with the green felt, cut out several stripes for the sweater. From the remaining red felt, cut two, rounded rectangles to use as the sleeves of the sweater.

Using a low temp hot glue gun, apply the green felt stripes horizontally across the sweater. Do the same for each sleeve. Trim any overhanging stripes. 

With the remaining brown craft foam, use scissors to cut out a zero shape for the brim. Then cut out a long rectangle. Using a low temp hot glue gun, glue the seam of the rectangle, then glue the top seam. Flip it inside out and hot glue it to the brim. Finish by adding elastic to the inside of the hat with a dab of hot glue.

Start by fitting a comfortable collar around your cat’s neck. Use heavy duty wire cutters to remove any decorative rings or attachments from the collar. Then, use scissors to cut out a long, rectangular piece from the black craft foam. Next, fold it in half (try not to crease it) and cut out an arched shape. Lastly, cut out a slightly smaller matching piece from the red adhesive craft foam. Stick the two together.

Place the cat collar on a table with the outside facing up. Using a low temp hot glue gun, glue the cape collar at a 90 degree angle directly next one of the clasps. Be sure to hold the craft foam in place while it dries so the cape stands up when the cat is walking.

Cut a piece of lace fabric to size, then fold in a zig-zag pattern. Use a low temp hot glue gun to add the folded lace piece to the rest of the collar length. Next, cut two pieces of ribbon to size and use a low temp hot glue gun to apply it over the lace. Glue a small necklace medallion to the center where the ribbons meet.

Using a crafting knife, carefully cut the white foam board 13’’ across. For accuracy, measure the foam board using a ruler. Then, cut four smaller rectangles for the door panels. Next, lightly trace out where each panel will go on the door and then use a low temp hot glue gun to adhere three of the panels to the door.

Next, lightly trace out where each panel will go on the door and then use a low temp hot glue gun to adhere three of the panels to the door (Image 2).

With the free door panel, cut irregular strips, like slashes, to fit where the remaining panel is traced on the door. This will create a broken, splintered wood look. Last, use a low temp hot glue gun to adhere the axed panel strips to the traced door.

With a dry brush add a light coating of cream acrylic paint to the entire door. Next, create a woodgrain look by lightly painting brown acrylic paint along the left and bottom edges of each panel for dimension. To add make a darker door, repeat the steps with brown and cream paint. Let the door dry completely. Last, use red acrylic paint to spell “REDRUM” in the middle of the door using a Q-tip.

With a crafting knife, cut a small rectangle from the remaining foam board. Next, grab your tack and add a bit of glue using a low temp hot glue gun. Stick the tack into the foam board piece. Last, paint the entire piece with gold acrylic paint and glue the piece to the door.

Using a low temp hot glue gun, adhere a small scratch pad to the bottom length of the door.

Using a crafting knife, cut a small piece of gray crafting foam into two axe blade shapes so it’s double-sided. Now, cut a wooden dowel into two even pieces. Place one piece of the wooden dowel in-between the two axe blade shapes and use a low temp hot glue gun to adhere together. Next, wrap the remaining dowel tightly with the large furry pipe cleaner. Be sure to use a furry pipe cleaner that closely matches your cat’s fur.
