Art Break - Cat Coffins

I know, this probably seems morbid.
But think about it logically. I want my dear cats (when they leave this mortal coil) to be buried appropriately.
I want them to be treated with love, care, and respect.
I want them to have coffins, not just put in the ground.
And you can't just buy a coffin for your pet easily.

For this project I used two cardboard boxes, one for each cat, and at a suitable size.
(the sizing was made easy because the cats like getting into boxes)

For Schnicks, I wanted the outside to be a blue/teal colour. I thought that was the best colour for her.
I also put some glitter on the outside, because she has always shone brightly.





I painted the inside red and lined it with red velvet to resemble once of her favourite places to nap (SU3s bed).






For Babycat, I was going with a bedtime theme. 
I painted the entire box glossy white, for he is the most innocent of all the life on earth.




I lined this with white satin.



I made a pillow for him out of a material bag I already had.



Then all he needed was a blanket,



and a teddy!



The teddy had a zip opening, so I put some of my hair in it (so Babycat would never feel alone).


And done!
