I used the cardboard box to set the length and height I needed and drew a freehand curve and cut it out.

From my template I marked out the rest of my cardboard sheets. I chose to use two shapes rather than a single shape so my cats have a choice.

Once marked out get cutting I used a bread knife as it can saw through the cardboard.

Fill It Up.
