Coroplast DIY Coroplast Inserts... Tips?

I've never made flippers, but I did just DIY make my coroplast insert and have some ideas. first, I would measure the length and width on the inside of your coro cage. Now, if you make a sheet to match the same dimensions, and then you layer fleece and uhaul on it it may not fit as well... I may say allow a quarter of an inch, half-inch or so around the bottom at least, as the uhaul (as in the flippers) wraps around the bottom. Then maybe a quarter inch shorter on top and sides, and in the middle... just to give a little space for fabric.

I'm not sure if any of that made sense!! Also... if you are concerned and a perfectionist like me, I'd maybe be tempted to just buy one flipper and take measurements off of that! But that's just me We actually bought one set and are planning on making more fleece cases and uhaul padding eventually, just reuse the coro. But those are expensive.

Thanks for the advice, @Aranel1002! Yea, my inner perfectionist is encouraging me to buy just one flipper & copy, BUT they are expensive. I have no doubt that they are worth the money, but since I have a sewing machine, and the minimal skills required, it would be better for me just to make my own. :crazy: haha

So I was drooling over the fleece flippers in the fleece store again and was checking out the price of a single flipper seriously, when I found this:
