Make a play rod for your cat
Attach the cotton yarn to the top and bottom of the beech round stick. In our example we used the spiral knot. Watch our video on how to make the knot.Knot a key ring at one end. The toys will be attached to it later.
Sew the fish
Print out the pattern, cut it out and transfer the fish twice onto the foam rubber. Cut out and paint as desired with craft paint.Important before sewing: Make sure that the sewing thread is long enough at the end. This will later be interwoven with other threads and attached to a key ring.
After drying, sew both sides together by hand with the "Langettenstich". Leave a small opening to fill the fish with stuffing wadding and a clip. Now close the opening as well.
At the front of the fish, pull a long thread through the seam to the centre of the thread. Together with the sewing thread, you have 3 strands that are intertwined. Knot the end to a key ring with a carabiner.
Make the tassel
Cut several thin strips (approx. 5 mm) from the foam rubber. Knot these together in the middle with embroidery twist and attach a clip as desired.Now take all the strands of foam rubber together and tie them with the winding knot. Learn how to make the knot in our craft video. Weave a strand from the embroidery twist and knot it to the tassel. Knot the other end to a key ring with a carabiner.
