This time we're making the pawesome

The Supurr Fluffy Carrot Catnip Kicker Toys

What We Used:

Orange Faux Fur

Green Feather Trim

Wadding or Stuffing

Catnip

Cotton Thread

Scissors

Sewing Machine and Needle 

Optional Cat ~  Smooch was today's Craft Room Snoopervisor

"What do mew mean I've got catnip on my chin?" Smooch said, then added. "I definitely have NOT been trying the catnip stash!"

Let's Get Started

1. We used some of the orange faux fur left over from our pumpkin bed project a few years ago. We bought some green feather trim on a satin ribbon for the leaves.

2. Next, we winged it, and just made a long triangular pattern - see dimensions on pic. As we wanted a longer kicker toy, so the first one was just a test, but luckily it worked out purrfect.

3. & 4.  Then we got some of the old faux fur offcuts and cut out our pattern, with a 1cm or 0.5" seam allowance all around.

5.  We folded it in half with right sides together, or the furry side inside. And pinned in place.

6.  We used a basic straight stitch to sew up the edge, and then we used a zig-zag stitch to stop the edges from fraying.

7. This is what it looked like before the zig-zag stitch.

8. Then we turned it right sides out, or fluffy side up! MOL

9.  Let's get ready to start stuffing. The wadding we used is from a cushion, and our catnip is homegrown.

10. & 11.  We used a wooden chopstick to push the wadding and catnip down the carrot. And we didn't overstuff so it has movement.

12.  Say hello to the fluffy carrot.

13.  Smooch had to sample the catnip just to make sure it was the supurr extra primo blend. (Mew see, he lied about not having any earlier! MOL)

14.  Then he eagerly awaited the next part. 

15.  We cut the feather ribbon into a 4" or 10 cm length and rolled it up. Apologies for no pics here, but the P.A. found it impawsible to take any while trying to hold the carrot and feathers in place and then take a pic. Smooch couldn't believe it, and said, "That's a purretty poor effort, and I think mew need to try harder!"

We won't post the P.A.'s reply! MOL 

Anyhoo, basically while holding the rolled up feathers, mew stuff them into the top of the carrot and hand sew the whole top together, pulling your stitches tight so it gathers everything together leaving a nice domed top with the feathers poking out. 

16. And here's the finished fluffy carrot kicker toy.  

We didn't stop there; we made five more! MOL

Let's see what The B Teams' reaction was:

Or watch on YouTube by clicking here.

As mew can see, Fudge thought the carrots were all his, basically because they are ORANGE! MOL

But that aside, and Fudge's little rough and tumble with Melvyn over sharing said carrots - see the video, they were enjoyed by all.

And that furiends furry sadly brings us to the end of our eighth Crafting with Cats post, we do hope mew liked it.

And if there's anything mew'd like us to make, leave a comment and we'll see what we can come up with, as the craft room is almost open full time again for the summer months! MOL  

We'll be back on Wednesday with more Midweek News, so do stop by to see what we have in store for mew this week. 

Until then...

... and utterly epic!
