Does anyone make these from scratch?

[c4talys7]

I like the idea of these beds/cozies matching the rest of the cage. It looks like they are all hand-made and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make these?

I followed this guide somewhat to make my beds: https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/accessories/17507-how-make-cuddle-cup-requires-sewing.html

Where did you find that picture? I know I've seen those particular style beds (the ones in the back), but I can't quite remember where you can buy them.

I know you can make those beds (the link Princess Angel gave), tunnels, sleeping bags, and couch beds - instructions are in the "Accesories" area of the forum. Otherwise you can buy those beds towards the front, tunnels, and other sorts of hideys at a number of sites:

You can buy the crash pads here: Piggy Crash Pads
I don't think there's a sewing pattern for that anywhere.

sd, the pic is from here:

If you are handy with a sewing machine and have fabric to spare, I say just try things out and find what works best for you. I very rarely use patterns to sew things. I am just too impatient!

Those beds in the back look somewhat like this: (broken link removed)

Awesome! Thank you guys for the input. I think I will try and make the crash pad and the cuddle cup. I was kinda forced into the world of Guinea Pigs and I'm actually excited about it now. My sister didn't do her research so I'm happy to try and help them live more comfortably.

Cuddle cups are pretty easy to make. I started out making them for my pets, ferrets and pigs. Now I make and sell them for other peoples pets.

Youtube is amazing for sewing tips. I self taught myself how to sew with youtube.

If you need any help just message me.

If you're wondering what materials to use, usually flannel and fleece work best. Flannel is soft and comes in lots of patterns, usually pretty affordable too; fleece is so soft and the piggies love it!

Bwahaha, sorry I know this post isn't helpful but I just wanted to comment on how cute the ears on the back cozys were. The picture make me literally squeak with joy.

Thank you (broken link removed), I might be messaging you soon, I'm going to be getting some material soon. I'll check YouTube as well.

No problem. They really are easy. The tutorial here is so simple to follow. My biggest tip is to write, or print, the tutorial out so you can have it with you the first few times. I make so many now its second nature but when I first started I wrote it out and had it with me.
