Could this be THE (unofficial) social distancing mascot for 2020?
What plant says "Don't touch me" more than a cactus?
What animal says "I don't need you here" more than a cat?
Put those two together and you've got a Catcus - an easy yet adorable project. Not only is this piece easily customizable by changing the colours and/or the basic features but it also makes a perfect gift.
Just think about it - it thrives under ANY lighting conditions and never requires watering or feeding. Stitch them up for your friends, family or anyone that could use a smile. This download comes with the pattern pieces to stitch from felt AND the pattern pieces that have seam allowances added on so you can use scrap fabric.
•
Each kit envelope contains step-by-step photo illustrated instructions, TWO sets of paper pattern pieces - one for felt and another with seam allowances added for stitching with fabric), sheet of bright green felt*, pair of 6mm safety eyes, embroidery floss, needle and pins. I describe it as Beginner and recommend it for ages 8 and up.
Finished Catcus measure approx. 5" x 4" (13cm x 10cm).
Clay pot is not included
* The felt provided is 100% rayon/viscose which is an organic material made from processed wood pulp and tinted with vegetable-based dyes and has a characteristically soft feel. These pieces are perfect either as whimsical decorative pieces or to be used in gentle play.
