Master class: how to make a house for a cat with your own hands
In order to create a house for your pet, you will need any material with which it will be sheathed. The approximate dimensions are 1.5 * 1.2 cm. To make the house smooth and accurate, you need to draw a template in advance.
We put the cut out template on the material, transfer it, and cut it out, not forgetting to leave a 3 cm margin. We cut 8 pieces, these will be the walls, and 2 more - the bottom. We make the same parts from foam, the house should be warm. In foam rubber, you do not need to leave a stock. We make 5 parts of foam rubber, 4 - on the wall and 1 - on the floor.
We take 2 pieces of the cut out fabric, we connect and stack on foam rubber. On the drawn line, everything is stitched. So it should turn out 4 walls and a floor. In one of the walls you need to make a hole through which the cat will climb. In order to make the circle equal, you can use a plate or bowl.
Next, we take the details from the bottom of the house, and sew them. Depending on the thickness of the foam rubber, a bonding method is selected. If the foam rubber is very thick, then you can fasten it with buttons.
When all the walls and the bottom are sewn, you can fasten all the parts together. You need to stitch it from the wrong side, starting from the wall where the entrance to the house is.
When everything is sewn, the house turns on the front side.
Thus, you can make a beautiful and comfortable house for your cat with your own hands, which will be very happy for him!
