Cork Cats Craft

We recently introduced a new kitten into our family. He was stuck under our neighbor’s porch and I heard him meowing for help, so we really didn’t have much choice. He’s a cute little orange and white guy who really likes to play. However, our other cat still isn’t so sure about him yet. But with our newest little guy chasing underfoot, we took our cats as inspiration for this Cork Cats Craft!

This isn’t our first cat craft. We made this Tissue Paper on Paper Plate Cat Craft after our older cat and we also put together these fun Cat’s Meow Pop Up Paper Cards for any occasion, but especially fun on Valentine’s Day.

While you could make your Cork Cats Craft any number of different ways inspired after any beloved cats, you could also make a group of black cats for a great black cat Halloween craft, too. And we also made a purple cat, like the one in Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?.

Wrap a pipe cleaner in a corresponding color around the bottom of the vertical cork. You can use regular pipe cleaners, shiny pipe cleaners, mix it up, whatever you have on hand. Twist to secure and curl in an S shape.
