Book Cover Grid Tunnel (Illustrated)

[Slap Maxwell]

I got this idea from mncavylover.

Supplies:

-Spare Grid of 14'', 15'' is too big.
-Fabric Book Cover (availible at most stores for $.50-$1.00)

Directions:

Take your grid and cover, as seen here:

First, slip the book cover on to the grid (it's a tight fit) one corner at a time:

Streatch it to fit and slip on the entire grid:

Place the grid on the ground, bottom up, and put your feet directly under the 1/2 way bar:

Put your fingers under the top across from your feet and lift, slowly, bending the grid:

Bend slowly until you get to the desired bend, so it makes a tunnel. If you bend to fast, you will break the grid:

This is what the end should look like:

Your grid should resemble a tunnel. Place it in the cage, and add a piggie!

You can also make a futon by bending it the other way, and slipping a peice of cardboard in it to make it stiff. Use clothespins to attach the middle to the grid.
