- These are instructions for how I make the cuddle cup beds I sell in my shop! I buy all of my materials from Joann Fabrics. This bed measures about 9.5” across and 5”tall.

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
G’day Guineas Aw thank you! I’m glad that I could be of help! 😊
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.
Thanks for the amazing video! I just made 2 beds for my Guinea pigs and they came out really good!
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
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!
Hi Chris this video is about guniea pig just check it out ua-cam.com/video/jYBQuXiIN0E/v-deo.html
Are you kidding? You sew better than me with two hands!
me too! lol
And me!
I thought the same thing!!
I was thinking the same! She is doing all of it with one hand lol
One handed because she's holding the camera/phone
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!
I agree. Simple and concise! Thank u
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
Totally different approach to making a cuddle cup. Thank you for sharing your techniques! =)
Beautiful bed
Thanks for sharing this very informative tutorial on making the bed. It looked difficult but you made it look easy.
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
I thought I wont be able to do it but I did it! It was actualy pretty easy and fun! Thank you for the tutorial so, so much!❤
Love it! Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO!! Off to make my pigs a new bed!!
I'm amazed at how great of a job you did one handed! I can barely sew using both hands.
Thank you for this!!! Easiest tutorial! I hand sewed because I have no machine and it was super easy to follow. Thank you!
Props for sewing one handed 👍🏼 thank you for your vid. Very helpful
What a great video! I just made two for animal shelters. Thanks so much for such a well-explained tutorial.
Thank you!! I have never made anything before but I followed this step by step and my cuddle cup has turned out perfect!!!!👍😁
Fantastic video!!! I can't wait to try it for my daughter's new brother piggies! Very good explanation. Thank you so much!
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 👍🏽👍🏽😍
That’s cool!!
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!!!
thank you so much! I just made my first piggie bed with your help
Awesome, quick, and simple tutorial! Thank you!
Omg i love it i made this cuddle cup today, and it turned out so good!! I did use bathtowels instead of batting
this worked great I changed it a little since I was using a needle and thread but it looks better than I thought it would this was a very clear tutorial thank you!
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 🐹🐹🐹♥️♥️♥️
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. 😊👏

It’s so cute I love it awesome job
Your piggies are soooooo cute
I will love to see a "hov too" video, making yours hey bag. 🙏❤️
You sew better one handed, than most people on here with both hands! Lol! Thanks for the video! ❤❤❤
The more you sew the better you get :)
Thank you for the tutorial! It turned out great!
Great video! made this and the piggies love it💗
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.
Thumbs up for one handed sewing!
Thank you for the tutorial, it helped so much
Thanks for the great instructions
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!
Props to you for doing this all one handed!!!!
I'm getting a new Guinea Pig soon! So this helped 😆
Awesome tutorial and you are great at sewing one handed lol. I'll definitely try this for my rabbit. :)
You did great!
Great job!

Thank you very much for the info i tried it
Thank you so much i was looking to make my gp a gift for christmas and this is perfect
Looks sooooo good!!! Maybe see if it works to put a tripod next to or on the opposite side of the machine? 😍
yr talented!!!!! subbed
Nice I love it
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thank you !
You have a great channel 💕
You use a sewing machine better then me--with one hand XD Good video!
How does this not have more likes and views???!!!

Omg. I want to make that! Almost at 100 subscribers!
U have so many subscribers now!!!😆😆😆 I love your Chan is so much!!!
@@mistythehamster8405 Aw, thanks! Cringing at me 3 years ago😆
@@LittleKingdom3 😆🤣 I get that ✋😩🤣
My respect for the one hand Video, 😵 thanks so much for the great tutorial
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?
Is so cute
Thanks lots for the video.
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
niice i was thinking the same way lol
All she wants for Christmas is a camera tripod...lol
Merci !
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
I nearly broke my back trying to get a decent 11" circle but I'm hopeful that the rest will be easy enough
Please make more videos on sewing stuffs for guinea pigs..
If I wanted to make a pee pad to go in it, what circumference would you recommend it to be?
Lily Rousseau I make them about 9.5” in diameter before being sewn.
I used an inch smaller template which fit perfect inside mine
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?
The batting shown and used in this video is Poly Fil polyester batting, even though it's being referred to as "cotton" batting, and isn't absorbent. An actual cotton batting would be fairly 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!
I have one now luckily 😂 Future tutorials should be less shaky!
@@SquigglyPigs Thank you! I wasn't trying to be rude, I hope it didn't come off that way. I really appreciate this video :)
cuttttee
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!
Daniella Jensen Thanks! I use a Juki DDL-8700H
Thank you, hope to try it. Why one handed?
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 hand sew one of those the other day.
Just a heads up that batting is polyester but if that’s ok with you then it works fine.
Would u-haul blanket work in place of cotton batting?
Great video! I dont have batting on hand can I use poly-fil and then use my uhaul liner for a pee pad at the bottom for absorbancy? And is Poly-fil safe for the Guinea Pigs? Thanks in advance
Gloria Lynn Jackson Poly-fil works too! It wouldn’t be harmful unless they eat it, and I’ve never known a guinea pig to tear open their bed and eat it 😄
The batting shown is Poly Fil POLYESTER batting, even though it's being referred to as "cotton" batting. Same content as as the polyfil "stuffing" you're referring to, just in different form.
Omg! Those are so precious 😭 do you sell them?
I'm kinda new to sewing. What is that sewing machine foot?
my2015Scene You know, I’m not sure! 🙈 it was the standard foot that came with my sewing machine. It says it’s a “D1524-555EAL”.
How are you able to get your circles so perfect?
i think they trace around a bowl, though I could be wrong....
