Supurr Greetings Pawesome Pals
Welcome to the fourth of our Crafting with Cats Catmas Specials.
All of our previous CWC posts are on the Crafting with Cats Page, 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.

**A quick note before we begin**
All Crafting with Cats ideas and creations are of our own design and we share them fur purrsonal/home use only.
So purrlease do not copy fur commercial/resale purrposes.

Lets Get Started On The Pudding
1. Gather supplies.
2. Lay out fabric and place pattern.
3. Cut out.
4. Mew should now have 6 x segments.
Fur those of mew who are regulars to our blog, will know that we made a pumpkin pouffe on our Creepy Crafting with Cats Halloween Special; so rather than go through all the steps again, just click here to see entire the step by step construction.
5. Once sewn together, check size; Parsley says it's good to go!
6. Stuff to your desired plumpness and mew should now have something that looks like this.
Lets make the Catnip Holly Leaves
1. & 2. Use A4 paper, fold in half and draw holly leaf template and cut out.
3. & 4. Iron fabric, and cut out 4 x leaves.
5. Take wadding and pin 2 x leaves on top.
6. & 7. Sew around edge and leave a gap to turn right-sides out, and then stuff with catnip - as much as mew think is necessary! MOL
8. Sew up gap by hand, and mew should now have a couple of holly leaves that looks like this.
>^.^<
It's Pom Pom Time
1. & 2. Take your pom pom maker and begin wrapping the wool around tightly.
3. Aftur a few minutes it should look like this.
4. Close and secure pom pom maker with clips.
5. Take small sharp scissors and cut the wool - do be careful when cutting.
6. Take a longer strand of wool and secure the pom pom together.
7. Mew should now have something that looks like this. Most pom pommeee! MOL
>^.^<
Now For The Topping... MMMMMMMM...
1. Cut a circle, or oval in our case - The P.A. only ordered a small amount of the white faux fur - OOPS!
2. Cut and pin backing/lining to faux fur - we used an old sheet that had got shrunk in the tumble dryer - note to self: never dry bamboo bedding in the tumble! MOL
3. Sew right-sides together, leaving a gap.
4. Turn right-sides out and sew up small gap by hand, mew should now have something that looks like this. Which could also be used as a snuggle mat on its own.
Put it all together and mew should now have this...
EPIC OR WHAT?
Good enough to eat... almost! MOL
We love it! Plus it's calorie free! MOL
Amber is still trying snort one of the holly leaves... nuff said! [But we can see an intervention on the horizon!]
The Catmas Pudding Pouffe is purrfect for
Snoozing, Snorting and Playing
Now mew know mew want one!
So we'll sign off on this bright and breezy Caturday and look forward to your company on tomorrow's Festive Sunday Selfies.
In the meantime
Keep calm and have a niptini, well it is almost Catmas! MOL
