About
Because who says cat ladies can't be mermaids, too?
I loved making this little mer-kitty - it was such fun to give a more realistic (yet fantastical) project a go. I painted the detail on the cat using slightly stubbed toothpicks, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

You Will Need
-
Step 1Cut out two of your cat shapes and two of your tail shapes.
-
Step 2Start painting your felt pieces. Be sure to concentrate more on the front, as the back won't be seen. Add the face detail to the cat body piece, and consider using metallic paint for the tail (I mixed light blue, light green and silver paint to get the colour for my tail).
-
Step 3Add some glue to stick together the cat body piece and the tail piece. Repeat with back pieces. Add a line of small stitches to secure.
-
Step 4Add a button (I used a starfish-shaped one) and some paws. Glue on, and secure with a few stitches.
-
Step 5Attach the brooch pin to the back piece of the cat.
-
Step 6Attach the two pieces together, using cotton that matches the pieces.
