Decorate a Vinyl Cat Witch for Halloween

Vinyl figurines are a new way to add some quick and easy interest to your Halloween decor. These figurines are blank, allowing you to customize as much or as little as you want. The heads are detachable so you can paint the head while the body section dries and vice versa. The arms can be moved up or down, giving you the ability to add charming Halloween accents to your figurine.

I found four styles of blank vinyl figures for decorating at my local Michaels craft store. These figurines include the witch cat (directions and photo featured in this article), a pumpkin head, Frankenstein, and a bat. These figures are available now for early Halloween projects so pick them up while you can. Each one cost $1.99.

This Halloween decorating project is great for kids. If you are having a party, consider picking one up for each child for a safe indoor activity that does not involve sugar!
