U.S. Map Mat + Two Dollar Fun

We have two cats: a grey tabby named Baby, and a white siamese named Farrah. Usually we just have a dish towel underneath their food and water bowels, but last night we were at IKEA and I thought this might a simple, fun DIY.

We got this mat for $1.99! Since we are using it for food and water, we thought using a bath mat would be best because it will be more absorbent. I just drew an outline of the United States with a disappearing ink pen. I used the ruler to make a straight line at the top and free-handed the rest.

what you need:

Bath mat

Disappearing ink

Scissors

Ruler (optional)

Just cut out the shape. You can make any shape you'd like. The ladies from A Beautiful Mess did a similar project in the shape of a dog. You can find their creation here.

Farrah approves!
