I found these little guys while cruising around on Pinterest. I have recently discovered how addicting Pinterest is! Beware...
I thought these were the perfect cat toys because of uneven shape that will move easily even at the slightest touch as well as the little fortune sticking out that is surely irresistible to all cats. All you need for these cookies is 2 colors of felt (one for the cookie and preferably white for the fortune, but it is really up to you), a little tuft of stuffing, catnip (optional), and a sewing machine or needle and thread!
You can use whatever you have around to cut a circle out of the felt (the bottom of a glass or small bowl) and a rectangular shape out of the white felt long enough to stick out. She has the tutorial on her website Dandelions and Lace so go check it out and make a ton of fortune cookies for your kitties and their friends!!
I also found these Taffy Cat Toys! The idea is to recycle thread spools by covering them with material (it looks like fleece?) and tying each end to be the perfect light weight rolling kitty toy! I haven't made these yet but it looks like they sewed decorative lines down the fleece and then pulled them through the other side before they tied a knot. When I have an empty spool I will upload a more detailed tutorial but in the meantime they are being sold on Etsy so if you love them but don't really feel like making them yourself, you can still enjoy them. They look so easy I just had to share! Let me know how yours turn out!
