**BRAND NEW PROJECT** Crafting With Cats Easter Special ~ How We Made The Jumbo Feather Catnip Kickers ~ Easy Peasy!

Welcome to

Happy Caturday pawesome pals

Thanks for joining us for the fifth Easter Crafting with Cats segment, and a brand new project. 

We have so much fun making all this stuff, and we hope mew enjoy seeing it and/or making it too.  

If mew missed any of our previous CWC posts, stop by the Crafting with Cats Page and see all our previous projects, and mew don't have to be an expert in anything to make any of them. Plus, we offer workarounds and no-sew projects for those who don't like to sew.

What We Used:

Wadding

Homegrown catnip

Feather trim

sewing machine ~ scissors ~ thread ~ pins ~ ruler ~ iron

~

Optional Cat ~ Many apologies that Smooch wasn't in the craft room. The P.A. made these late on Wednesday evening, and Smooch was snoozing on his Shroom! MOL

Let's get started!

Mew can watch the quick video slide of all the steps by clicking here.

1.   Our Easter-themed fabric squares.

2.   We cut three pieces 10" x 4" or 25.4 x 10.16 cm.

3.  Fold in half along the long edge, right sides together.

4.  Start sewing from the fold towards to opposite corner.

5. Continue sewing up the straight edge to the top.

6. Here are our three, all sewn together.

7.   Cut the corners off.

8.  Turn right sides out, and press, and they should look like this.

9.  Fold the top edge inside and press, as this will make it easier when sewing the seam.

10.  Get your catnip and wadding ready.

11. & 12.  Stuff your kicker alternating with the wadding and catnip.

13. We had some feather trim in the craft room, but mew could use other things, like ribbons for this step.

14. & 15. & 16.  Position the trim in the top of the kicker, pin it in place and sew along the seam.

And this is how they should look when finished, aren't they cute?

They only took about thirty minutes to make all three, so a really quick project.

Let's see what Fudge and Melvyn thought of the kickers ~ scroll to 42 seconds on the video.

Fudge jumped Melvyn, normal, as he claims everything for himself immediately! MOL

Anyhoo, The B Team really liked them, Fudge has taken full ownership, but the P.A. is going to sneak one away for Smooch later! MOL

That pawesome furiends, furry sadly brings us to the end of our Easter Crafting with Cats Bonanza. We hoped mew liked the latest project as much as we did.

We'll be back tomorrow with our usual Sunday Selfies post, so do join us if mew can as mew know how much we love your company.

Epically crafty purrs
