Materials
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Print and cut the template pieces
- Print the paper roll cat template (find the link in the materials list above!) and cut out the pieces.
- Trace the pattern pieces onto cardboard and cut them out.
Step 3: Paint the cat
- Paint a design on your cat. Paint spots, stripes, or make your cat one solid colour. Let the paint dry.
- Once the paint is dry, use a lighter colour to add the ear details.
- Use a permanent marker to draw a face on the cat.
Step 4: Assemble the cat
- Cut a toilet paper roll in half. Each cat uses only 1/2 a roll, so you can make 2 cats from one paper roll.
- Place the paper roll in the center of the back piece of cardboard and trace inside. This gives you an idea of where to glue the paper roll.
- Add a small amount of hot glue to the end of the paper roll half.
- Place the roll onto the back of the cat, aligning it where you marked it to go.
- Add glue to the other side of the paper roll and attach to the front of the cat. Make sure the legs are level when you attach this piece so the cat won't wobble.
Step 5: Add the tail
- Bend the top of the tail back slightly and add a dot of hot glue to the bottom part.
- Attach the tail to the back of the cat.
- Your paper roll cat is complete!
- Now have fun making a whole litter of cute paper roll kitties in all different colours and patterns!
