This simple DIY cat tree topper may require you to buy a few things, but once you have the materials in hand, the project only takes a few minutes to complete, and you’ll have a topper complete with a photo of your favorite feline. Take a picture of your cat and print it out.

Use Mod Podge to attach the silver paper to a star you purchase at a dollar store or upcycle one you have lying around the house. Add a bit more decoupage to affix your cat’s photo to the paper. Before putting the topper on the tree, you’ll need to wait about 30 minutes for everything to dry. This is an excellent option for young crafters as it doesn’t require using sharp objects or glue guns.
