Cat lovers rejoice! As hard as it is to have two loves in life, felines and crafting can go hand-in-hand, which is why we’ve pooled together seven purr-fect projects to showcase your appreciation for the claw-some animal. Even though they can be a pain when allowed into the craft room (we’ve all had a bad experience…), we adore our little companions.

Just for fun: How many cat puns can you spot on this page?
