Directions
- On each wood piece (9.25″ and 6.5″ long), measure 2.5 inches down from the top center. Mark a dot there, then draw lines from the dot to the two top corners to shape the ears.
- Cut along the lines on both pieces to form the cat ears. Then spray paint all sides of the wood black.
- Print the two patterns (orange buffalo check and black spot) onto white card stock using the provided links.
- Place a wood piece on the corresponding pattern, then trace around it.
- Cut out the traced paper shapes for each cat.
- Apply the paper cutout to the wood using Mod Podge with a foam brush, then seal with another Mod Podge coat on top.
- Hot glue two googly eyes, six 2-inch twine whiskers, and a black button nose onto each cat. Tie a coordinating ribbon around each cat and finish with a bow.
