THE SANTA PAWS SLED 

What We Used:

2 x large cardboard boxes

hot glue gun

scissors

red spray paint

black acrylic paint + brush

For the decor

white felt

non-toxic pva glue

white pom pom trim

white feather trim

1 x small Christmas tree

small red baubles

red & white bells

small gold bows

2 x stick on lights - headlights

2 x mood lights - underneath

2 x fat quarters for cushions and Santa sack

wadding for cushion and catnip cushions

1 set battery operated fairy lights

1 x small wooden plaque

other wooden Christmas tree decorations

>^.^<

Optional Cat ~ Smooch was today's Craft Room Snoopervisor

Normally, we share step-by-step instructions showing how to make things, but in this post we thought we’d show mew exactly in almost real-time how the sled was created from start to finish, letting mew see how a mid-size cardboard box was transformed into a supurr festive sled for cats.

There are 6 videos in total, approximately 10 + minutes each

Links to all episodes:

Part 1   Part 1 a    Part 2    Part 3   Part 4   Part 5

ISN'T IT EPICALLY EPIC? 

Melvyn did pull the tree off the back at the end of the final episode! MOL 

What a fluffing heathen, anyhoo, it's all back together now as the P.A. has used a lot more glue. She thought it was secure enough, but sadly, it wasn't quite fully Melvyn-Proof, which he pointed out when it landed in the sleigh bed - OH DEAR!

But that little incident aside, we still think it turned out epically epic.

FYI - We are not allowed to use the sled without pawrental guidance, purrlease be aware of safety issues and the safety of your cat at all times if making this or any other crafting projects.

And that furiends sadly brings us to the end of our first Catmas Crafting with Cats post. We do hope mew liked it, and if mew decide to make your furry own Santa Paws Catmas Sled, we'd love to see, so feel free to tag us on social media @BionicBasil - Instagram & Twitter or @BionicBasilCats on TikTok.

So we'll sign off on this bright and breezy Monday and look forward to your company on Wednesday's Midweek News.

In the meantime

Keep calm and have a niptini. Well, it is almost Catmas! MOL
