Joy the Baker's Yarn Ball Catnip Post Introduces an Easy to Make Concept

Joy the Baker's Yarn Ball Catnip Toys bring forth an easy to make DIY concept to pet lovers. The blogger released the post out of her deep love of cats, a sentiment that is certainly shared by many of her followers.

To produce these colorful Yarn Ball Catnip Toys, Joy used styrofoam balls, a hot glue gun, mod podge glue, strips of yarn, paper and of course, dried catnip.

As the catnip is glued firmly to the interior of the balls, coated here with the yarn, cats will try for hours on end to unravel the balls. The steps cover the pieces solidly however, making it an entertaining game for felines that could preoccupy them for considerable chunks of time.
