d.i.y Sunday : cat alice-band

Gemma Correll

Today I felt like bringing some feline fun into my life/onto my head. Grab a black alice-band, some wire and some black fabric (I used velvet, for that Expensive Cat look)

1 : cut 4 house-shaped bits out of your fabric (triangles with a bit extra on the bottom)
2 : stitch them together, leaving the bottom open
3 : cut your wire to fit along the stitch line, turn the ears inside-out and pop the wire in
(cute cat polaroids by Sofie Fagerlund)
4 : stitch the bottom closed, trapping the wire inside (ignore the wire's screams of "'help! we're trapped!")
5 : bend the ears around your alice-band so just the triangle bit of your house-shape sticks up. position them as you please (closer together for a curious cat, further apart for lazy cat) and glue them in place if you want this alice-band forever (but the wire should stay in place quite well without glue)

i'm fighting the urge to end this off with a cat pun…

mee-wow!
