When I saw this $5 black tinsel cat from Dollar Tree I just knew I could spruce him up and give him a good glow up. There's just something about that tinsel that makes my hands feel weird. Like microfiber cloth, y'know? 


I painstakingly removed all the dang tinsel from skeleton of the cat, glued the skeleton back together (it separated for me) and then covered him in twine over and over again until most of his skeleton wasn't showing. I picked twine because it kind of gave me that Pottery Barn/Studio McGee witches hat vibe but the comments on both TikTok and Instagram told me I should've gone with a fuzzy yarn. 😩  I finished the entire look with a cream-colored ribbon around his neck!

Check out the video below for a better explanation and visual instructions and I've also linked everything used below the video. Have fun!

Grab a cat, pick your yarn or twine and go to town!
