Catnip pillow tutorial.

Making a catnip pillow that your cat will love is super easy. All it takes is a small section of fabric, stuffing, catnip (of course!) and a needle and thread.

First start with a 4" by 7" piece of fabric. I generally use 100% cotton fabric.

It gets folded in half, wrong side out.

Then, we sew 3 and a half sides around.

Any type of straight stitch is fine. Typically the fabric fails before the stitching does.

Fold it right side out

Now we add some catnip! Typically, for normally stuffed pillow, I use three (heaping!) scoops. If you're feeling extra generous, fill it all up with catnip, and skip the stuffing step. Your cat will love that! 💏

If your pillow isn't stuffed to the brim with catnip, it's time to add stuffing!

You can get polyester stuffing from any craft store, or even many grocery stores!

Once it's stuffed, pin it closed, to aid in sewing in the next step.

And then, sew it shut!

And finally, remove the pin and let your little rascal play with it!
