Cute. I fill empty toilet tissue rolls with quilt batting and catnip, then shove it into a tube shape I’ve sewn. Add a few ribbon bits at the end (to emulate feathers)…. Sew these firmly into closing seam. I think Atlas would love this. They’re called Kitty Kickers.
My niece's son has a lot of cookie cutters i brought for him from Amazon. with all kinds of shapes and animals and transportation. and seasonal themes. QUESTION. we have old pillow cases that my niece and don't use anymore. can I use this, if i don't have fabric material??.
Cookie Cutters will work for pattern as long as they are big enough and you can find a part that can opened within the shape to fill with catnip. An old pillow cases will work too but depending on the cat, they may be particular about material. Mine likes the cotton fabric you would get at Walmart as oppose to linens.
That question is a bit of a tricky one. It depends on what shapes you are selling, what type of toy you are making, how long that toy will last. For the one I made, I wouldn't charge more then $3 since it's scrap fabric that I wanted to make use of. But if you are creating cute toys that are of a higher quality, then I would go to the pet stores and see how similar products are selling to price match... OR go on a craft market such as Etsy to get an idea. I hope that helps.

Sounds like a fantastic project to start. He does like his kickers.
"Pinking Shears" are the type of zig-zag edge scissors that you were trying to recall the name of.
Thank you for your videos!
Thanks so much for knowing what it is lol. I have the memory of a fish :).
Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to use the pattern!
Enjoy! The square and fish work best, but might work even better if you blow up the design a little bit bigger than I made it in the file.
This is so neat!! Well done, Deb. The Apron tutorial was my fave ... if I do say so myself! Was great. :)
I would use velcro to close it up. after i add the cat nip.
I would if I was not using scrap fabric as a one off toy but thanks for the suggestion. It is a very great idea for a sustainable toy for sure.
to refresh the cat nip, when it gets old.

Just out of interest if I was to sell cat nip toys what price would you suggest, please.
