Cat wands are a great way to interact with your cat. I’m going to show you how to create one at home with a few things that you might just have laying around the house already! This took me under 10 minutes to create.
Supplies You Need
- 1 Wooden Dowel
- 3 Jingle Bells
- Multiple Fabric Scraps (Ribbons, Shoe Laces, etc)
- 1 Roll of Baker’s Twine
- Scissors
- Fabric Glue
Directions – How to make a DIY Cat Wand
1. To make your wand look “irresistible”, begin by wrapping the plain wooden dowel with Baker’s Twine.
2. When you finish wrapping the dowel, leave an excess amount {10-12 inches} so that you can tie your fabric scraps to the end.
3. Use a small amount of fabric glue to secure the twine to the dowel, so that it doesn’t unravel.
4. Take all of your fabric scraps and tie them to the end of the Baker’s Twine
5. Select three different scraps of fabric and tie on the jingle bells.
That’s it! Now go find your cat and enjoy play time! See more DIY Pet Projects in our Gallery!

Is there anything you can use instead of the bakers string? Is there a reason for using bakers string over something else?

I love these so much! My cat picture book Luis and Tabitha has just come out, and I’ve been making these with readers at my signings! 🙂
