Can you use carpet remnants to build your own cat tree?

DadAnd.com provides do-it-yourself instructions for building a multi-level cat tree. Along with instructions and a basic plan, you need enough carpet to cover each surface of the cat tower.

In addition to carpet, you need plywood or particle board for creating the base and levels of your kitty condo. An empty carpet tube works well as a climbing surface so that your cat can easily reach any level, but two-by-fours will also work for this purpose. Tools needed for this project include a saw, drill, carpet or utility knife and a half-inch crown stapler to fasten the carpet in place.
