Funny gift!

My sister-in-law has seven cats and is always complaining about the amount of hair they leave behind. This Christmas we got her this book as a joke...I had NO IDEA that it's an ACTUAL craft book! There are lovely crafts to do, with complete instructions and photos, great ideas on how to use the cat hair, and she's looking forward to actually doing some of the crafts! So, I guess the joke gift is a joke on me, because she LOVES it!

Not sure if I actually will make cat hair crafts, but I certainly could with the amount of cat hair floating around my house! I bought it for a friends birthday gift and a second one for me as an amazing coffee table book. It’s really cute and I suppose actually works but I haven’t tried it yet.

Fun White Elephant Gift And Surprisingly Sincere Craft Book

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024

Purchased for a white elephant exchange and couldn’t resist leafing through it and was pleasantly surprised by how sincere the book was. The crafts are mostly felting, have very clear instructions, and the layout of the book is very professional and easy to read. Plus it has pictures of the author’s kitties :) Totally recommended for anyone who loves cats.

A Fun Read

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023

I purchased this cat craft book out of curiosity. It is a cute crafting instruct with adorable graphics and photos of kitties, enjoyed.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book to use as part of a white elephant gift exchange. I will also include some of the supplies that are needed to get crafting: cat hairbrush, dish soap, plastic wrap, sponge, felt, thread, felting needle, etc.

The book I ordered was used, so pay no attention to the minor flaws in my pictures.

I quickly scanned this book. The instructions are very easy to follow and seem to be thorough. There were some parts that were funny. I couldn't tell if that was from the translation from Japanese to English, or if that was intentional.

The instructions cover the steps from collecting the hair, cleaning it, and preparing it for use. There is also some interesting stuff on the difference between cat hair and sheep wool. The projects use very little cat hair. The puppet on the cover uses the most. The other projects require felt or clothing items. These crafts look fun and inspirational.

Being a cat mom, when I saw this I just had to buy it lol I figured if I don’t like it, I can always give it to friends who has cats anyway LOL

But I decided to keep it, it’s quite funny with all the steps and also what you can make. It’s on my bookshelf, I haven’t find time to make it yet being super busy at work, but it bring a smile to my face when I see that silly book and maybe when I finally have some time, I’ll give that a try!

The book you never knew you needed, but you need it. Don’t ask too many questions. If you have cats or a person in your life that has cats, this is the eco friendly ultimate cat lovers gift to yourself or your loved one.

Just don’t think too deeply about it.

It’s an adorable book with small crafting projects that use your cat hair entirely or as an accent to another piece. The projects are cute and/or spice up practical items.
