• PVC 1 inch pipes – 26 pieces cut 2 1/2 ft long• 4 pieces of PVC 4ft long• 10 elbow joints• 10 T joints• 4 Cross (x) joints• 2 end caps• 1 threaded female hose connector• 1 drill with small 1/2 inch drill bit• PVC pipe glue• Pool noodles• Sponges• Ties/string/ribbon/decorations The first step is to build a framework of PVC pipe and PVC joints. Take 4 ft length PVC pipes and drill 8-10 holes. Connect three 2½ ft PVC pipes with T joints in the center and elbow joints at the end. REPEAT do this two times for both sides. NOTE: On one side use T joint instead of elbow joint. Add 4 PVC pipes to T joints to start to build up. At top of T joint on both sides add x joints. REPEAT for both sides. Add 2½ length PVC to each elbow joint. REPEAT for both sides. At top of each length add elbow joint. Connect 2 sides you created with 4 foot lengths. PVC pipe glue keeps water tight and structure stable.

Items Needed: An old suitcase with a hard outer shell. Strong glue: super glue, crazy glue, wood glue, gorilla glue, or any glue that's really strong. 4 Wooden legs – approx. 4-6" tall and squatty looking works best for stability. Paint (optional to paint the legs before you put them on). Books or heavy objects to weight down the suitcase while the legs dry. You'll also want a pillow that will fit into the suitcase – which you can also make yourself (see fleece pillows). And some decorations that you or your cat will love. Instructions:
Gold LeafBalloonsNewspaperMod PodgeGold Leaf AdhasiveGold Leaf SealerAcrylic PaintFoam Brushes Blow up your balloons. They can be any size. Whatever size you want your bowls, that’s how big you need to blow up your balloons. Tear your newspaper into strips. They don’t have to be perfect. Dip your foam paintbrush into the Mod Podge and paint the newspaper strips onto your balloon, covering the bottom of the balloon. Make multiple layers of paper mache. The thicker the mache, the sturdier the bowl. Place your balloon upside down in a cup to dry overnight. Once the paper mache is dry, pop and remove the balloon. What is left is your bowl! Use scissors to smooth edges of your bowl. Paint your bowl white. You may need a couple of coats so that you can no longer see the newspaper underneath. Allow to dry completely. Brush the Gold Leaf Adhesive over the entire bowl. Place Gold Leaf sheets all over the bowl. Overlapping is just fine. Don’t use too much adhesive or your Gold Leaf will clump. Trim off any excess Gold Leaf. Brush on the Gold Leaf Sealer and let dry completely.
