I like this idea of not having to be "domestically inclined" in order to make cute ferret bedding (im domestically challenged) hahaha

You guys crack me up! lol Basically its the same idea as the ones listed in the ferret.com fourms, but I came up with my own ideas. I make my guys sleep sacks, tunnels, hammocks, corner hammocks and blankets. When I make their new sets, I'll post a step by step for a hammock so you guys can get an idea.

This is a no sew hammock/sleep sack. Although I made the ends to hang it to short(easy fix add a fleece tie or another set of hooks). So you might want to take about a 4 inch peice of fleece for all 4 sides and tie it so that you can attack the ring and hook for hanging.

You take two peices of fleece that are the same size, cut about 3-4 inch strips all along the sides so that you have enough material to double knot them. Leave 4 strips unknotted on the sides so that you can place the hook and ring. Double knotts make them secure and hold up better.

Its so much fun and simple to make! You can make your own homemade stuff with no needles or sewing required. I'd wash it in a gentle cycle though and dry on a low setting. You can almost always find the fleece on sale at walmart.

In my house, if it can't be done with glue, tape or staples....it won't be done at all!

I went to Walmart last night, and got me some fleece, lol. It's tye dye and super bright, I love it. So far I've only got a sleep sack done, but the boys are loving it. I forgot to pick up anything to hang a hammock with. Do you use shower curtain hooks? I'm planning on finishing the set tonight, I'll take pics if I actually do get it done, lol. I'm such a procrastinator. I still only have one curtain in my living room, because I haven't gotten to sewign the other one.
