Cat Burglar Joule Thief

Step 6 Finish It!

After sewing up the "stuffing seam" with hidden stitching, you're ready to add the details.

From scraps of black fabric sew up a tail. Just take two layers of fabric and sew up a kind of crooked tube. Cut the "tube" out and turn it inside out. Sew the tail to the body. This is important! I provided a photo to show the tail goes on the BACK.

Adding small details really help. Add whiskers with black thread. With pink thread, stitch in a "+" symbol on the positive paw. Glue on some googlee eyes. Lastly, cut small out small triangles from the pink felt and glued them to the ears.

You're done! Now go find some used batteries to drain!

I know you're probably wondering, "What can I do with my Cat Burglar Joule Thief after all my batteries are drained?" You can use it as a fridge magnet or a backpack buddy! Dudes, these are chick magnets! Take one of these to your local biker bar and hotties will be lining up! (Warning: I cannot be held responsible for any pummeling or destruction of property.)

Thanks for looking! :-)

This is great! It's useful and the steps are pretty clearly demonstrated. You've got my vote so far. I want to make one and send you my version but I don't know where to obtain Zelt. Good luck! I like that it sits on the fridge waiting, waiting...

Great info!

Yeah the fridge reminds me of the old Road Runner cartoons when the Coyote splats against a wall. : - )
