I have been looking for a cat scratcher for my cat, but the ones at the store were expensive and made out of cardboard. So I decided to look online on how to make one.
What you will need
Cardboard
Hot Glue Card Stock
Carpet Tape
Packing Tape
Ribbon
My dad cut the cardboard 3 inches wide with his band saw (sorry if I seplt that wrong). This literally took 5 minutes. Then I coiled it into circles and put double sided carpet tape at the end of the cardboard and then taped it down with packing tape ( Look at Picture 3 and 4). Keep doing this until you reach your desired size.
I then hot glued card stock on the bottom and tape card stock to the sides and trimmed it up. Then I glued the non slip shelf lining on the bottom so it won't slide around. My cat has the tendency to leap on things and knocks them over. Finally I hot glued the ribbon on the bottom.

Great idea for a frugal gift for your cat or a cat owner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking it up!
The important question... does your cat like it? :>) I saw a similar one of these the other day and couldn't believe I'd never thought of making one. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYes ! We were shocked that he loved it due to his pickyness
