It’s been a while since I’ve made something for our cats, and I had the macrame itch again, so I made a DIY macrame cat teepee. Our Willy frequently gets attacked by our Walter, who loves sneaking up on him while he is sleeping in his round cat bed. I figured that if I put a teepee over that bed, Walter can’t sneak up on him from behind anymore. So it is not only pretty but serves a purpose too.
Materials needed
- 5 wooden dowel rods (size 1/2 x 36-inch)
- 4mm macrame yarn
- scissors
Optional supplies are: a pet bed, drill and drill bit, wooden beads, screw, and matching nut
Tip: This macrame teepee is not just for cats and can be made for dolls, kids, and adults as well. Just buy longer dowel rods and keep going with the same type of grid knotting of longer strands of macrame. As you work your way down, gradually cut each new strand 5 to 10 inches shorter than the previous one.
Video tutorial
It’s always a good idea to watch my video tutorials to see what my hands are doing.
