Star-Shaped Cat Frame

Meow! Create a frame of your favourite feline, fill with a photo and give to a cat lover as the perfect gift!

Search terms: pets, housecat, kitty, kitten.

  • Step 1Paint your frame white. Allow to dry. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting.
  • Step 2Paint your frame in bright colours. We painted our cat’s belly white, its body purple, nose orange and paws yellow. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Cut two small triangles from purple cover paper and attach to your cat’s head with glue. Attach two wiggle eyes to your cat’s face with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Use a marker to add detail to your frame.
  • Step 5Finally, choose a photo to pop into your frame. Trace around the inside edge of your frame onto your photo and use as a guide to cut out your subject. Tape your photo to the back of your frame.
  • When working with photos try photocopying your photos rather than cutting up an original!
