DIY: the "puurfect" cat dress


The day began with me doing my own thing, surfing the net, stumbling upon street style blogs and I came upon this photo:
(My new favorite thing to do being, Google: couple street style)


First thought:
That dress. 

So I did my research and came up with this.
All my hopes and dreams stitched up into this too good to be true cat dress. I had to have it. Even if the cats weren't identical. Even if the cats were pink. But the idea of the dress oh! I needed it. 

So I made it.

You'll need:
1. A brush
2. A Cat Stamp (I made my own out of foam and double sided tape)
3. The perfect black dress
4. White paint (I used latex, since that's all I could find in the house, but fabric paint is preferable, I think.)
5. A cup of water 


Start by applying the  paint unto the stamp. I use a brush because I don't want to get paint into the holes where his eyes should be. That'll be a mistake that's hard to fix. You'll be spending the day painting black everywhere the white paint exceeded. 

Also, I watered the paint down slightly, because if it's thick some parts might dry before you've even stamped them. 


Work your way down the dress. I did mine in a pattern like the original. However, if you would much rather stamp wherever you felt like it than go right ahead and do so! There are no rules. 


Afterwards, you've got yourself a cat dress!
