Make your own set including - Pad/bed, waterbottle cover and hammock.
How To Make Your Pad
You will need:
Sharp or Fabric scissors
Two 10" (25.5cm) circles of fabric
Needle and Thread
Wadding or similair
First, you will need your 2 circles of fabric, and lay them on top of each other. Sew them inside out about three quaters of the way round, with a tight running stitch. (It is important not to sew them the whole way round!) Turn it inside out so you cannot see the stitching. Now, take a handful of wadding and stuff the pouch up. Try and even it out so it isn't lumpy, by smoothing it into place with your fingers. Now carefully sew up the gap.
How To Make Your Bottle Cover
You will need:
Old CLEAN sock or fabric (If using fabric, make it about 5mm longer than the measurement of a tape measure wrapped around your bottle. you will need a needle and thread.)
Scissors
The Sock Way:
Cut off the end of your sock with the opening to scale of your bottle. Place over bottle!
The Fabric Way:
Now your have your measurements, cut your fabric to size. Wrap around the bottle and put a pen mark where the 5mm overlap is, but on the side you don't want to show. Take the fabric from around the bottle, and using your thread and needle, sow the two ends over, NOT GOING PAST THE MARK. Trim off any excess, and turn inside out. Place on bottle!
How To Make Your Hammock
You Will Need:
Scissors
Thread and Needle
Strong wire (not too thick)
Two fabric triangles, each side 8" (20cm) long
Wadding or similair
As with the pad, sew up the triangles inside out and leave one side. Stuff evenly with wadding. Carefully sew up the open side. Using your scissors or something similair (and sharp!) Punch a whole about half an inch (1cm) away from each corner. Thread your wire through the whole and wrap firmly and securely on the bars of your cage. test by putting your hand on it, and pressing down quite hard.
