4. Place fleece bright side UP on your working space.
FOLD fleece in half lengthwise.
SEW a one inch seam down the middle to the end.
TURN rightside out and place through middle of container.
FOLD over the outside so the fleece covers the tube inside and out.
5. TUCK EXCESS inside tube and bring end to top edge so it fits tightly and the end of fabric is
right at the top of the tube.
PULL DOWN just enough to place velcro sticky tab on top of folded fleece sticky side down and press to stick.
place the other side of the velcro (sticky side up) onto the velcro you just placed.
PULL TOP back over sticky velcro and press down.
REPEAT this around the top until it is secure. (I use 5 peices of velcro)
Making sure to CENTER plastic in the middle of the triangle,lightly draw where the edge of the plastic mesh ends.
Cut 1/2 inch strips through both top and bottom fabric along the top two edges up to the
lines you drew.
You are now left with fringed edges on the top 2 shorter sides of the triangle.
Now tie each top and bottom peice of fringe together with a double knot. I always tie the top center, then a middle center
from each side so the mesh does not slip.
Continue tying knots until all the fringe has been tied securely.
You can attach the shelf to the cage by tying the fringe to the cage in the center and on both ends, or you can tie clips
to the middle and both ends and attach it that way.
I use these shelves all over and move them frequently.
I place them over their food bowls so nothing can drop into their food as they jump around and play,and also place
them in the corners so they can leap to and from them.
They are washable,but do not put them in the dryer.
The picture above shows the corner shelf in the back corner, and the trampoline swing in the front. Directions for this
coming soon. You will be amazed at how simple this is.
Plastic embroidery hoops come in a variety of sizes. To make a two layer swing, you will need both a small and large
hoop. I remove the medal tops and replace with zip ties for safety.
To hang the swing I use braided fleece.
Cut 6 strips of fleece 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide and about 24 inches long.
Seperate into 2 groups of 3 and tie together in a
knot leaving about 2 inches on top.
Braid each of the two groups together and tie at the end.
Fold in half and then tie each of the end peices onto the fleece fringe with a double knot, spacing them evenly
apart.
One on top, one on bottom and one on each side
Pick up the braided fleece in the center to be sure it is secure and level.
put shower curtain ring through braided fleece in the middle and hang.
