DIY Guinea Pig Tunnel Tutorial

Forgot to add in the tutorial that these tunnels wash well even without sewing the foam to the fabric. I have made at least 5 of these now & after multiple washes they have retained their shape really well!
However if you have concerns, you can easily sew one or two lines through the middle to secure the foam directly to the fabric. 😊

I just love this video. I am not a sewer, so, the way you presented how to make this made it easy! I'm making this and also your piggy hammock. I did crochet two piggy cave/beds, I lined them with fleece. My daughter has two baby guinea pigs and I'm helping her a little bit by making items for them. I can't wait to try out more of your tutorials. Thanks so much for creating these, they're so we'll presented!!

You have no idea how much you helped my bunny with this tutorial. I'm learning to sew to be a able to spay her and basically cover her needs. Thank you.

Very nice job! I'm totally making one of these for my daughter's piggies! Quick tip from an experienced sewist (please don't be offended! I just see where you could make this easier for yourself): Instead of marking the fabric an inch away from the foam on all sides, just cut a 17.5" x 12" piece of both cotton and fleece fabric. With 1" foam, your seam allowance should be about 1/2", if you're using a machine to sew.

I agree. Some of this could have been simplified. I ended up doing my own thing which made much more sense. Think she made it a little harder for herself than it needed to be. Good tutorial though. But I think I’ll find other tutorials for future projects. I think you either get on with someone’s way of doing things or you don’t. Also 8 oz wadding does exactly the same thing as upholstery foam and it’s a lot cheaper and easier to get hold of.

thanks for this tutorial, hand sewing is not my forte, but dont have a sewing machine either, and all videos ive seen, were with sewing machines. i will give my best to make this ,not once but twice, for my 2 lovely guinea pigs.

Very easy and adorable! Mine fell over when the animals bumped against it, because the foam arch made it top heavy. I made a little matching mattress to lay on top of the bottom fleece and that solved it. Our chinchillas love it, snuggled up inside together all the time.

I made one of these tonight and added a back to make an igloo instead of a tunnel. Used a sewing machine. Hand stitching just adds unnecessary time onto projects. Getting some pet rats soon so I’m making lots of things for their cage. I might have to make a couple for my two guineapigs though. Wish I could upload a picture of the one I made to this comment but I can’t. 😫 I tweaked the method as some of this Just didn’t make sense so I simplified it as I went along. Had fun doing this 😊

I like this one better LOL!! I wonder if you doubled on the bottom layer and Sewed it together then,Sew it to the top of the tunnel... If it would be a more thicker more plush bottom??? Then I could make a tee tee pad for the inside!! HAGD sweetheart this month will fly by!! Before I know it..I'll will be watching new videos in your new room, with a new cage!!! xoxoxoxo Shey

@SugarSpicePiggies 8 жыл бұрын

+Sheywh12 I think that would be a great idea! I will hopefully be doing a slight twist on this tunnel design once moved (like I mentioned to you on fbk), hopefully that'll be much more plush & bigger! xx

You don’t need foam you can use thick batting orbits called wadding in the uk. It will hold the same shapr

On your instructions at the very beginning, I'm confused. You say to leave 1" around the foam when cutting out the cotton fabric and then you also say to leave at least 1cm from the foam to the 1" line. I don't understand. Doesn't the 1" marking cover the 1cm as well?
