The pets we raise enrich our lives in so many ways. This series of short films, offering great ideas for creating designer items for house pets, can provide “quality-craft-time” with our kids, enrich our world, and enrich the world of our beloved four-footed friends.
A special collaboration between the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Israel and designer Oshrit Ben-Gal, owner of “Crafty Studio”, gave rise to a series of short films conveying original and simple-to-make craft ideas that will delight dogs, cats, and, of course, their owners. This film series, bearing the title: “Let’s craft – Pet crafts”, instructs viewers on how to create original beds, delightful toys, a colorful nail-filing contraption, specially designed clothing, a wooden board for hanging pet-related items, as well as a box and water & food dispenser for homeless cats. The projects are all very user-friendly and simple to make, based on various art-techniques combining recycled objects, household tools, and art materials obtainable in specialty stores at low prices.
So now is the time to cut, color, sew, paste, recycle, fly on the wings of your imagination, reveal your creative spirit, enjoy the process, and especially the outcome.
