This cat lip balm holder is made from some simple yarn. It is a quick project for intermediate as well as seasoned crocheters. It makes a great gift, or you could just make it for yourself! You can also let your creativity flow and make different animals by changing the details on the head!

The final step! First sew the ears onto the head. Then attach the arms to either side of the body. Finally, take the head and pull the chain line you made before through on one side of the head. Then pick a spot on the other side of the head and pull it through there. Now attach the end of the chain line to the body. And............ you're done!!! You can now put in your favourite lip balm and take it with you!
