This is a lovely Halloween rock painting craft to combine creativity with some time enjoying the outdoors. We love going out pumpkin picking or looking at the decorated neighbourhood and collecting some rocks at the same time. It’s a lovely way to get into the Halloween spirit!

This easy black cat rock craft is a great way to decorate the home or garden this Halloween. You could even make them as little treats to give to your Trick or Treat visitors instead of candy! Why not team them up with our Painted Rock Witches? After all, every good witch needs a black cat!

Some people say that a black cat crossing your path is good luck and some say it’s bad luck! We think painting your own black cat rocks is nothing but total fun and is a sure fire way to bring smiles and good luck to the family! So grab your rocks and let’s have some Halloween craft fun!

Black Cat Painted Rock Craft

This Halloween rock painting idea is super simple and you can make them with any sized rocks or pebbles you like. Just give your rocks a wash first and make sure they’re thoroughly dry before you start painting. 

If you want to leave your painted rocks outside when you’ve finished, I’d recommend coating them with a waterproof varnish first.

How to Make Black Cats With Rock Painting 

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 1.

1 – Start by painting your chosen rocks black. We love to use acrylic paint because it covers with just one coat.

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 2.

2 – Look at the shape of your rock and decide whether you are make just a black cat head or whether you are making a body too. Glue on your googly eyes accordingly. You’ll see in the photo above the upper rock has eyes in the middle to make a cat head. The lower rock has eyes on the side to make a head and body.

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 3.

3 – Cut some short sections of pipe cleaners and twist them together to make the cat’s whiskers.

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 4.4  – Glue on the cat’s whiskers and then a small pompom nose.

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 5.

5 – Cut out some triangle outer ears from black paper or cardstock and some inner ears from yellow. Glue them together. 

6 – If you are making a black cat rock with a head and body then you’ll need to cut a paper or cardstock too. To go with our Halloween cat theme we made a spiky bushy tail.

Black Cat Rock Painting Craft step 7.

7 – Finish off your black cat rock painting craft by glueing on the ears and tail and drawing on any additional features with a white Posca pen.  We added smiles and front legs.
