Welcome to the fifth of our Crafting with Cats Catmas Specials.  

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.

This time, we're making 

What Mew Will Need:

Burlap/Hessian or a fabric of your choice

stuffing/wadding

wool or embroidery thread

mini pom poms

black felt

large needle or darning needle

Let's Get Started!

1.  We love burlap! MOL

2.  Fold A4 paper in half and draw your template ours is approx 3.5" wide x 2.5" high or 9 cm x 6 cm

(if mew have a tub of Whisker cat treats - mew could use the lid as your template - we'll be making some really fun things with those in an upcoming Craft Post).

3. & 4.  Cut out and place on fabric.

5. & 6.  Pin to the fabric while mew cut; as tailor's chalk doesn't show up very well, it's easier to pin the template and cut around it.  Cut 2 pieces.

7.   Place both pieces together, take your wool and large needle.  Sew around the edges in a stitch of your choosing.

8.  Leave a gap and stuff to your desired level with wadding.

9.  Finish sewing and leave a loop of wool to hang your Burlap Cat.

10.  Glue on a pom for the nose and stitch whiskers in place.

11. Cut out small triangles of black felt for the pupils and glue them to the white pom poms.  Glue eyes onto cat, and mew should now have something that looks like this; a really cute but rather grumpy little face looking back at mew! MOL

Here's ours in the tree at BBHQ, and we've affectionately called it Amber! MOL MOL MOL

A very Bahumbug Catmas indeed! 

And that furiends furry sadly brings us to the last of our Catmas Crafting with Cats posts, we do hope mew liked them, and if mew decide to make your furry own Catmas Bahumbug Burlap Tree Decoration, we'd love to see, so feel free to tag us on social media @BionicBasil - Instagram & Twitter or @BionicBasilCats on TikTok.
