How to make cotton cat swab art

Explain the materials to be prepared and the key points to make

Challenge yourself with cotton swab art that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike!

I will explain how to make cotton swab art for the hugely popular cotton cat workshop.

Cotton Cat is an artist couple who love cats and are active in Japan.

You can create cute works by inserting a cotton swab cut in half into a cardboard cat claw.

The tools to use are easy to obtain, and since no adhesives are used, it's easy for children to take on challenges, and even if they fail, they can start over as many times as they want.

The class will explain how to make a cat's face, but be sure to try making something you want to make!

Cotton Cat is an art unit working as a couple between Shohei Shirai (sculptor) and Nobuko Inumaru (Japanese painter). I currently live with 4 cats at home. I started cotton swab art with a sense of fun, and I'm so happy that so many people can see it when they notice it.
