Steps

1. Draw and create the shape of the cat on the cardstock. Make sure it is long enough to peek over the book when it is closed. If you find it difficult, I have created a template that you can print and cut out.

Pasos

1. Dibujar y crear la forma del gatito en la cartulina. Asegúrate de que sea lo suficientemente largo para que se asome por encima del libro cuando esté cerrado. Si se te hace difícil, he creado una plantilla que puedes imprimir y recortar.

1. With the markers, add details to your cat. This is a very fun part where you can use all your imagination and add whiskers, colors, spots, even accessories. Draw the nose and mouth, don't forget to color the tail.

1. Con los rotuladores, añade los detalles a tu gatito. Esta es una parte muy divertida donde podrás usar toda tu imaginación y añadir bigotes, colores, manchas, hasta accesorios. Dibuja la nariz y la boca, no olvides colorear la cola.

1. Cut out the entire piece, you can use a cutter for the more complicated parts.
