Cat toys. Hand made. Manufacturing and repeatablility.

The annual ReMade project's prompt was to make a product out of recycled material (this year, the theme was pet products). As designers, we're responsible for what materials we decide to use, so using recycled materials to make our products gets one

Searching for material was surprisingly difficult. It was hard to tell what some materials were even composed of, and since we were working with pets, everything had to be safe enough for a dog or cat to chew on. I ended up using wooden dowels and v

Since we had to make twenty of them, it was really a lesson in mass production. Each fish I made had to be hand folded, sewn, glued, and embroidered, which took much more time than I originally had thought.

In addition to that, each of the dowels had to be carved, rounded, sanded, and plasti-dipped.

For our ReMade show, we partnered with a local store that sold our pet products for two weeks. This meant I also had to create tags and packaging for my product.

My class took on different jobs from displays to signage to advertising to create our show. By the end of the two weeks, I sold 16 of 20 cat toys.

Each fish features a refillable catnip pouch in the tail on a stick with the handle convered in PlastiDip.
