When you are done upholstering all pieces, make some cuts where the holes and half holes are to free them from the fabric.Įvery cat scratch post has twine all around it.so that's the way I decided to cover my tubes too! The thicker your twine is, the faster this step will be. I decided to still cover them using a scrap of thinner fabric, but it's not necessary. The bottoms of the 2 base pieces ( A and B) don't need to be covered with more fabric because they will be hidden. The rectangular pieces are much easier to upholster than the discs: simply staple the straight sides, finally pull the angles and staple them too. So, upholster all of the other wooden pieces just like you did for the round ones and without the foam. I decided not to put any foam on the other rectangles, but you can do that if you prefer. As usual, make sure to start stapling the 4 sides, then proceed with the rest.ĭo all of this for your other wooden disc too. Lay it on the wood trying to center it, and staple it all around the disc folding the edges on the inside, as you can see in the second photo. Make it round too, but it doesn't need to be perfect. To do this, cut a smaller piece of fabric that is about as big as the disc. The bottom of the discs will be visible too because they will be lifted from the floor. You are free to do this as well or you can upholster it instead, it's not really important! I passed a layer of wood primer on it before painting it. *Other than making it roundish, I decided to paint my F piece instead of upholstering it. For this reason you can use the same forstner bit you used before, or a hole cutter with the same diameter. Remember that all of these holes are regular holes (not half holes), but they are just as big as the others. Please keep looking at the drawing to see the measures for the holes. The only difference is that G has real holes instead. Piece G (not in the drawing) is exactly like piece A on step 2.I decided to make its shortest sides round, just to make a different piece, but this is not necessary. Piece F* is just like piece D (40 x 30cm) and one hole on the side.Piece E is 30 x 20cm (11.81 x 7.84 inches) with a hole on one side only.Piece D is 40 x 30cm (15.74 x 11.81 inches) with 2 REAL holes on the sides.All of them are mainly rectangles, but you can make different shapes too! Between the top and base of the cat tree there are other pieces of wood.
