Leather Cat Box Pattern – Funny Secret Cat Design

Leather Cat Box Pattern – Funny Secret Cat Design

Sometimes a leather project can be more than just practical — it can be a little joke, a smile, or even a hidden treasure. This leather cat box pattern is exactly that: a playful leather cat that hides a small secret compartment inside. With its round body, cheeky cat face, and tiny cup in its paw, this project looks like a decorative figure, but it’s actually a DIY cat box template where you can store folded banknotes, coins, or any other tiny treasures.

The design is small, cute, and makes people smile. It’s not only a crafting project but also a conversation starter. Whether you keep it on your desk, gift it to a friend, or use it as a funny accessory in your living room, this funny leather cat pattern will always surprise people who discover the secret inside.

Materials You’ll Need

To make this little cat, I used 1.8–2 mm (4.5–5 oz.) leather.
You will also need only thread — no extra hardware is required.
That makes this project perfect for beginners who want to explore something creative without worrying about lots of additional tools.

• Leather: 1.8–2 mm (4.5–5 oz.), stiff enough to hold its shape

• Thread for stitching

Finished size: approx. 9.5 × 9.5 cm (3.74 × 3.74 in.)

Creative Ideas

Because this pattern doesn’t require hardware, it’s easy to adapt and personalize. Try bright colors to make a cheerful cartoon-style cat, or darker shades for a more mysterious look. You can also add hand-stitching details, custom engraving, or painted features.

The leather cat design is also a great project for kids to enjoy watching (although the crafting should be done by adults). It makes them laugh when they see money or candy hidden inside.
