I'm going to be attempting to make my first cuddle cup, cuddle sack, and tunnel this weekend. Where can I buy batting that's cheap? How much would I need for, say, four or five items with just one layer of batting in each? Does it need to be washed first? Will it shrink?

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited to start making my own stuff. :D

Batting won't shrink. The amount of layers is personal preference - for the cuddle cups I used two layers. For the tunnel I used a piece of moving blanket quilted between two layers of cotton fabric then covered in fleece. Have a look on you tube there's a few good videos that show how to make them real easily. Post pics once you're done :)

Okay, awesome! I just bought a package of batting from walmart yesterday along with the fabric, so hopefully I can start working on them this weekend! I will definitely post pictures! :D Thank you!
