In honor of National Pet Day happening this month, we are celebrating our beloved pets with hand-felted cat toys. You will learn a number of simple felting techniques and leave with 1 to 3 pet toys depending on how you choose to embellish and the speed at which you work. There will be ample color choices for you to pick from to color coordinate with your home or honor your kitty’s favorite colors. Expect to have your hands wet for some of the felting process.
