Rayher polystyrene cat, lying down, 14 cm – blank for painting and decorating

The Rayher polystyrene cat is a lying figure made of white polystyrene (EPS), 14 cm high, which you can decorate with your own ideas. According to Rayher, it is cute and detailed. You can paint it with all-purpose or craft paint, embroider it with sequins, needle felt it or decorate it with gemstones and fabric. The smooth surface is easy to work, and its relaxed lying pose means the cat stands securely as a decoration.

Decorating the cat

Choose the design to suit your technique: with all-purpose or craft paint you paint the fur, face and pattern. Needle felting suits a soft, plush fur: you stab thin layers of felting wool on with the felting needle. Sequins and gemstones make good accents, and you can cut fabric scraps into a little coat or scarf and glue them on.

What to note with polystyrene

Solvent-based paints, sprays and adhesives can attack polystyrene. Test them first on an inconspicuous spot, such as the underside. Apply paint in thin layers and let it dry in between so that the surface stays smooth.
