How to Make a Cuddle Cup Bed for Guinea Pigs & Hedgehogs 

I always thought these looked too complicated but I did it!! Thanks soooo much for this clear tutorial and also you have some mad skills with that one handed sewing lol

Thank you for sharing! You did a great “how to” video. I don’t know how you sewed with one hand, but you did an amazing job!

Thanks for the amazing video! I just made 2 beds for my Guinea pigs and they came out really good!

I made these a year ago and now that my piggies are grown ladies, I am making these again but bigger! They love them! Thank you so much for this video! You are the reason so many piggies have nice and comfy beds 😊😊 A tip! I also make "mattresses" to lay on the inside that have old towels instead of the lining on the inside, for better absorption. And I can wash those more often than the whole bed.

I know this is older but omg thank you. I haven't sewed in awhile and this helped me SO much to remember how to go about things. My new guinea pigs are gonna love this

Are you kidding? You sew better than me with two hands!

I always wanted to make one of these and your method makes it super easy! Thank you! My piggy actually doesn't use these as a cuddle cup, but flipped over as a tunnel hidey. He's a silly boy!🐹

I want to thank you for your clear and concise video. Your video is the best DIY cuddle cup video I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks so much for your tutorial. I need to make a bed for a stray dog's puppy that got adopted. I am so excited. This will be a PERFECT GIFT for the puppy.

Thank you for this vid... You make it look so easy one handed...LOL Just some tips i've learned along the way...You could sew a piece of uhual moving blanket to the top circle --- along with the badding... It will help wisk the pee away and keep the bed dryer in between washings... Also, you could sew a + in the bed (part they lay on) once its finished, to keep the badding from bunching up when washing and drying... But seriously --- Awesome vid...

Thank you so much for this, I made them yesterday for my 3 girls and they love them. Your instructions are so easy to follow and they didn't take me too long after I made the first one :) I have 3 happy piggies now and they even popcorn all over them lol

I take my hat off to you for doing it with one hand I can just about do it with two it is my first time and I'm proud of myself xxx

That was a great tutorial ❤️ I don’t have guinea pigs, but a couple of bunnies, so I’m going to be making them bigger ones. Awesome idea and good concise instructions 👍🏽👍🏽😍

I'm amazed at how great of a job you did one handed! I can barely sew using both hands.

So adorable, you made that look so easy with one hand. Wow! I don't have that skill probably never will. Awesome job. Thank you. 😊👏

Thank you for this!!! Easiest tutorial! I hand sewed because I have no machine and it was super easy to follow. Thank you!

Totally different approach to making a cuddle cup. Thank you for sharing your techniques! =)

I will love to see a "hov too" video, making yours hey bag. 🙏❤️

Fantastic video!!! I can't wait to try it for my daughter's new brother piggies! Very good explanation. Thank you so much!

To Lily Rousseau - instead of using the white stuff she recommended-just use the towel or other material to absorb. They also say to prewash the fleece several times, so it will absorb. New unwashed fleece just beads up the liquid. Or you could complete the project, measure your completed inside circle and add half an inch. Then cut 2 circles of fleece and 1 of absorbant to that size. Layer absorbant material, fleece, fleece. Sew along outside of circle using a 1/4 inch seam allowance; leaving a turning hole. Turn so both fleece are on the outside, and sew the hole.

Thanks for sharing this very informative tutorial on making the bed. It looked difficult but you made it look easy.

Ur voice is so calming!!

Props to you for doing this all one handed!!!!

Absolutely AMAZING video!! I have a large syrian hamster who I’ll be making one of these beds for! He loves to sit on cozy fabrics so I know this’ll be a hit! Thank you so much for this great follow along tutorial 🐹🐹🐹♥️♥️♥️

Oh, I love it, you explain very well! Please do more tutorials about hammock for your animals!! 💜

Sewing is hard one handed!?! You sew better than me with one hand than I do with both hands!! Excellent Video thank you so much for making!! Please make more videos of cage stuff!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I literally have not used a sewing machine apart from a few classes at school 15 years ago but your video was so clear and easy to follow that I managed to make two of these for my boys and they love them. Oh and I can't beleive how good you sew one handed!!!

You use a sewing machine better then me--with one hand XD Good video!

THIS IS SO CUTE!!! I'M DEFINITELY GONNA DO THIS FOR MY PIGGIES

Not sure if youre reading this but I decided to do only one stripe and one circle beacause The fabric was thiccc and it was very hard to cut it when I cut it all i realized i had actually 2 pieces of fabric instead of one and now I have two beds for my pigs lmao

Love it! Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO!! Off to make my pigs a new bed!!

Thank you for the step by step tutorial. I'm going to try and make this. With this video I think I can do it.

Beautiful bed

Awesome tutorial and you are great at sewing one handed lol. I'll definitely try this for my rabbit. :)

Thanks ! Just made my first one 💪

I'm getting a new Guinea Pig soon! So this helped 😆

Great video! Thank you. Will be making some for our piggies.

Looks sooooo good!!! Maybe see if it works to put a tripod next to or on the opposite side of the machine? 😍

Omg i love it i made this cuddle cup today, and it turned out so good!! I did use bathtowels instead of batting

Please make more videos on sewing stuffs for guinea pigs..

Nice tutorial, my hamster is so happy ! Thanks for the share 😊

Omg!! Yes this is so helpful I have 4 rats and they are going to love these!!

I nearly broke my back trying to get a decent 11" circle but I'm hopeful that the rest will be easy enough

Thank you very much for the info i tried it

All she wants for Christmas is a camera tripod...lol

Thank you !

Very awesome, your instructions were point I’m going to attempt this

This is the best tutorial I’ve found so far, hands down!! Thank you sooo much!! Wondering if you happen to have any others, for tunnels or other piggy accessories?

It’s so cute I love it awesome job

I just made a cuddle cup for my piggies out of an image in my head and i was sewing by hand and my hand hurts now but i think they’ll like it

Thanks for the great instructions

If I wanted to make a pee pad to go in it, what circumference would you recommend it to be?

Thank you so much i was looking to make my gp a gift for christmas and this is perfect

I think u did GREAT 👍with on me hand. I used both hands and mines doesn't look half as good as yours

cuttttee

Omg! Those are so precious 😭 do you sell them?

Great tutorial, thank you for sharing. x

Great job!

Oooooh Thats an awesome idea!!

This was awesome! Best tutorial video I've come across. I do have one question though: How do you wash it? And it the cotton batting absorbent?

SUPER easy to follow, thank you! May I recommend investing in a tri-pod? lol! Thanks again, I will be making one (maybe 2) of these for my piggies!

Great tutorial!

Is so cute

ME when she cuts the opening in the bed, SHE HAS THREE HANDS!!!!!

Just a heads up that batting is polyester but if that’s ok with you then it works fine.

Nice I love it

i was excited to see guinea pigs and hedgehogs in the bed !! :((((((

Thanks for the great video. I'm just wondering if you have any dimensions for a larger cuddle cup?

Thank you! This makes sense now. Lol

Great video!

Great, now I don’t have to use an old cereal box anymore

This machine sounds so quiet! Seems perfect to keep from scaring my piggies and waking my nephew! What model do you use? And I loved this tutorial, thank you!

GREAT VIDEO!!!

Would it help to add a layer of absorbant material in the middle?

i dont know if you check your comments anymore but im looking to make one and i have everything cut out. wondering if you use 1 or 2 layers of the cotton. also what needle might you have been using?

I'm kinda new to sewing. What is that sewing machine foot?
