Steps (10 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by making your templates, remember they have to be seven times bigger than the size you want your finished hair clip.

    You'll need a big cat head, a slightly smaller cat head, an eye and a whisker.

    You can use my template by downloading the PDF.

    Cut these out.

  2. 2

    Draw around your big cat head, whisker and eye templates on to black shrink plastic.

  3. 3

    Cut out one head, two eyes and two whiskers, flipping the template for the reverse.

  4. 4

    Use the smaller cat head template to cut out a cat head from clear shrink plastic.

  5. 5

    When you've cut out all of your pieces, you should have something that looks like this.

  6. 6

    Shrink down the plastic (according to your packs instructions) in an oven until small.

  7. 7

    Draw around the small cat head on to shiny silver paper.

  8. 8

    Cut the paper out a little bit smaller and stick to the black cat head.

  9. 9

    Using clear adhesive, stick the clear head on to the black and then attach the features. Leave to dry.

  10. 10

    Glue a hair clip to the back, leave to dry and wear. Meow!
