  • Catnip
  • Pen Or Pencil
  • Pin(s) And A Needle
  • A small handful of Polyester Stuffing
  • 7 in Felt Or Fabricplus extra if decorating

Steps (8 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather all materials needed.
    Im using an old Whiskas treat tub, i have attached a downloadable version of the face which you could print out and put it onto card or something.

  2. 2

    Trace around your template with a pen or pencil on your fabric or felt twice.

  3. 3

    Cut your cat faces out.

  4. 4

    Pin together drawn side on the inside, if your using a sewing machine do it the opposite way and then turn it the right way once sewn.

  5. 5

    Sew together, here im using a blanket stitch.
    Leave a gap on one of the sides so you can add your stuffing and catnip.

  6. 6

    Stuff your shape, you may need the end of a pencil to push the stuffing up into the ears, i used a a spray catnip here which i just sprayed the stuffing, if your using the grinded stuff it would be best to cut a small rectangle out of fabric or something similar and then sew it closed and then pop it inside with the stuffing. Sew the gap closed.

  7. 7

    Decorate the toy if you wish with scrap fabric or felt or if your handy with a needle you can decorate it with just thread.

  8. 8

    There you have it, a fun, cheap and easy toy for you furry little friend.
