How to Make a Cuddle Cup (requires sewing)

This thread comes to you courtesy of Furkidsmommy. She provided the instructions. Also thanks to jdomans for helping get me the info for you all.

You will need to cut three circles 11” diameter, one in your inner fabric choice, one in your outer fabric choice and one circle of batting. Then you will need to cut 3 strips 30.5" long and 5" wide, one in your inner fabric choice, one in your outer fabric choice and one of batting.

Re: How to Make a Cuddle Cup (requires sewing)

Once you have them sewn together, turn the cup right side out and sew opening closed.

Wow! Great instructions!
I think I'll make one with black fleece (to hold in warmth) and plaid outer fabric.

Re: How to Make a Cuddle Cup (requires sewing)

I am desperate for new cuddle cups but I don't have a sewing machine! Is it possible to hand sew these or will they fall apart?

If you are a good hand sewer, they shouldn't fall apart.

Re: How to Make a Cuddle Cup (requires sewing)

A local ferret rescue sells cuddle cups similar to these, and I noticed that they tie the sides, like you would tie a quilt, to keep the batting from shifting when it's washed. I thought that seemed like a pretty good idea, and easy to do!

What sort of material did you use for the outside? Or doesn't it matter?

Re: How to Make a Cuddle Cup (requires sewing)

If you are placing it on bedding like aspen or carefresh, I would use a cotton material. That stuff sticks to flannel and fleece. I would use the flannel or fleece on the inside in that case.
