5. Close the open end of the sock by making a secure knot with the remaining bit.

2. Open the shirt and spread it over the open side of the box, so that the neck hole stretches over and makes a doorway. Tie a tight knot in the back to secure the tent. Staple any loose ends of the shirt to the box.
3. Decorate the tent by writing messages or drawing pictures using markers.
4. Take a comfy blanket and line the inside bottom of the box to make a bed inside for kitty. Sprinkle dried catnip inside the box and now your Kitty Tent is ready!
