UPDATE: These were originally posted on April Fool’s Day, 2021 under the name Papier-Nonmâché Spheres Home Decor +Tutorial. These are actually a form of cat toy that our local animal shelter uses and often has their younger volunteers assemble from donated tubes. Of course, the tutorial still works!
You know those spheres you see at all the home decor shops? They can be wood, metal, wicker, ceramic, glass, shell, stone, etc. I decided we needed some papier nonmache for our dining table!
Of course! Just imagine circling the surface they sit on, coming up with sitcom ways of keeping guests from approaching!
Honestly, I was surprised at how not-recyling-bin they looked when done!

Thanks for the update…my cats seem to love anything cardboard…they shred boxes and will only use the cardboard cat scratching posts…I am going to make some to see if they will play with them…there is a box of toys that is collecting dust because they just are that picky! lol
Delia LOVES tubes! We often save them to use to help start fires in our woodstove in winter so she would often stand around looking innocent and put-upon while we made fires in the morning. SO, I started cutting “tewbs” into short sections to give her as a “treat” (wha?) when we build a fire. They are kept in a vintage cookie jar.
