I don't have any cats. But I do have a lot of t-shirt scraps and, I like to think, a healthy dose of creativity so I got it into my head to make some cat toys to sell at craft fairs. And because they're pretty easy to make I thought I'd share the process step by step with you.
1. Cut a circle from a scrap of t-shirt 4-6 inches in diameter. Cut some long strips of shirt about an inch wide and pull them until they curl into a cord. The cord will form your tentacles so cut them into 4 inch lengths. Pin several to your circle.
2. Stitch around the circle, basting the tentacles in place. Use that basting ring to gather the circle into a jellyfish shape.
3. Stuff the jellyfish with a little fiberfill and a scoop of catnip. Add a small circle of fabric in the opening and stitch it shut.
