Leather Cat in Box Pattern Free – Cat in Shopper Design

Craft your first project with a leather cat in box pattern free

I remember how overwhelming leathercraft looked when I started — all those tools, techniques, and fear of wasting materials. That’s why I created this free leather cat in box pattern. It’s simple, sweet, and made to help you enjoy your very first leather project. With two designs in the set — a cat sitting in a box and a cat peeking from a shopper — you can jump right in and finish something adorable in no time.

Materials you will need

You don’t need much to begin. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Leather thickness: 1.4–2 mm (3.5–5 oz)

• A few basic tools (knife, punch, etc.)

• Thread or white paint (for the eyes)

That’s it! You can even use leftover pieces of leather from other projects.

Finished sizes

There are two design options in the pattern:

• Cat in a box: 6 cm wide × 6 cm deep × 8.5 cm tall (2.36 × 2.36 × 3.35 inches)

• Cat in a shopper: approximately 12 cm long × 6 cm wide (4.7 × 2.36 inches)

Both are small, cute, and lightweight — perfect as accessories, decorations, or just something to make you smile.

What’s included in your download

Once you download the files, you’ll receive:

• PDF templates in A4 and US Letter formats

• A step-by-step video tutorial to guide you through the process

You don’t need any experience — just print the template, follow the video, and enjoy the process.

Important notes

This is a digital product — nothing will be shipped. Only the Leather Cat in Box Pattern Free is included in the download. All other objects in the photos are for demonstration purposes only.

Two versions for the eyes

Each pattern includes two options for the cat’s eyes:

• Option 1 – stitch them using thread (you’ll see how in the tutorial)

• Option 2 – paint them using white acrylic paint. I recommend using acrylic because it adheres well to leather.

Both methods are beginner-friendly and don’t require precision. I made sure this part stays fun and stress-free — even if it’s your first time.

Why you’ll enjoy this pattern

The leather cat in box pattern free download is designed for small wins — quick projects that make you feel good. You’ll practice basic skills like cutting, gluing, stitching or painting, and shaping leather. And in the end, you’ll have something cute to keep or gift.

Because you get two versions, you can mix and match colors, try different finishes, or make a pair of cats that look like siblings. Many people even turn them into small decorations, desk toys, or bag ornaments.
