Other Crafts - A Cat Match Scratcher
Another project from Holiday Handicraft, one with perhaps less applicability today than back when matches were often needed for things like stoves and smoking.
Left-click to enlarge. Complete the project while consuming a large glass of wine, and then try to say the name three times, very fast.

Other Crafts - A Cat String Bag
From Holiday Handicraft, by Nina R. Jordan. This book, which is full of vintage holiday projects for children, can be borrowed from Open Library.
"The cat's head string holder hangs from a nail and holds a ball of twine. The end of the twine comes out through the cat's mouth.
First make a pattern by drawing the cat's head on heavy paper. Make it about 9 inches wide and 8 inches from forehead to chin. When you have drawn a satisfactory pattern, mark it off on two pieces of yellow or white oilcloth. One piece is the front of the cat's head, the other is the back.
The cat's eyes should be 2 inches apart. Paint them in with black enamel; also paint nose and mouth."
