8. Black Cat Porch Sign
A Halloween porch sign with a sleek black cat silhouette is equal parts cute and spooky. A dollar store wood plank and some black paint are all you need — the cat shape is forgiving for beginners.
Prop it by your front door with a hay bale and pumpkin for a complete vignette. Add your family name or “Happy Halloween” in white to personalize it.
What You’ll Need
- Wood plank or long wood sign board
- Black and white acrylic paint
- Foam brushes
- Cat silhouette template
- Pencil and painter’s tape
- Clear sealer spray (optional)
How to Make
- Paint the plank with your background color and let it dry.
- Trace the cat silhouette lightly with pencil.
- Fill in the silhouette with black paint using a foam brush.
- Add “Happy Halloween” or your family name in white.
- Seal with clear spray if the sign will sit outside, then prop by the door.
