Until Mom and Dad have finished your own actual Bonsai Kitten, why not join in the fun, with this simple and useful project! Or brighten their room with a gentle hint if they haven't started yet! A Tissue Box Cozy adds a certain je ne sais quoi to their boudoir! Also comes in handy if they are allergic to cat hair and need to keep a box of tissues handy!	Supplies: 20" x 12" piece of cat pelt (or craft fur for greater color variety) Square tissue box Thread Hot glue Preserved or imitation cat face pieces (try to coordinate eye color with fur color). Tools Required: Ruler Crayon Knife Needle Hot glue gun
	1. Lay the pelt, hair side down, on a work surface. On a straight line, trace all four sides of the box, making sure that the grain of the fur falls from top to bottom, vertically. Also, trace the box top.
	2. Using a ruler as a guide, carefully cut out each form with a knife blade, then cut a 3.5 inch slit in the center of the top piece.
	3.Carefully examine the pelt pieces, decide which single piece is most suitable for use as the face. Attach face pieces using hot glue to the special pelt piece.
	4. Working with the hair side face down, stitch the four side pelt pieces together, side by side, making sure that the grain of the fur is all falling in the same direction..
	5. Attach the edge of the top piece to each of the four side pieces, then carefully turn inside-out and brush the fur neatly. Sprinkle with flea powder if necessary.
