How Do You Make Felted Cat Toys?
Cat toys are a multimillion dollar business. Take a visit to the pet department, local pet store, or pet supply store and you will see why. People spend a lot of money on their lovable furballs, but you can make your cat a fun toy with very little spent out of your pocket. A simple mouse made out of felt will provide hours of entertainment for your feline. Print out your template and cut out your pieces (see Resources). Pin your pieces to your felt and cut them out. Remove the pins and paper pieces. You now have all of the pieces for your mouse. Cut a piece of your dark brown floss and thread your needle. Mark a small dot on both of your side pieces for your eyes. Create your eyes with your needle and thread. They can be as simple as an “X” or make a French knot. Pin your side pieces together with the right sides facing out. Tie a knot in one end of your yarn and place the other end in between your two side pieces. Thread your needle with your light brown floss and whipstitch the piece
