HOW TO: Make Your Own Waterproof Cage Liners

[@06katb]

This video is now 8 years old and I just used it to make my first cage liner!! I’m new to sewing, and Guinea pigs, so your videos have been fantastic. Thank you❤

[@taylortong995]

I've never used a sewing machine but after watching this video I was inspired to make cage liners and pads for the cage and I just made a pad and a cage liner my first time sewing and it didn't turn out that bad thx so much for the inspiration

[@llxxblondiexxll]

I know this video is 5 years old but THANK-YOU! This is a great guide. Your videos are still helping people today! 🥰

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you so much! New videos are up this year! 😁

[@georgia3718]

I now understand why people charge the prices they do for these lol!

[@Kt-cn2rq]

I use washable pee pads 50x60 for my cage, anti pill fleece from Walmart. Use kids old fleece blankets for places they pee and poop at.

[@Lily-yu9se]

you are so insperational u made me relize that my guinea pigs need a little bit more space and im gonna try to make a cage that looks alot like yours this summer im really exited

[@emerasude]

After I saw this video I have bought my sewing machine :)

[@SqueakDreams]

Congrats! Sewing machines are great! 😃

[@Kdja1972]

Do you need a heavy duty one? I was going to buy a budget brother machine but worried it won’t handle the thickness - any advice? ❤

[@senpaininj1736]

ohhh ur measuring in cms 😂😂 I'm over here like damn they got a nice life 😂😂

[@kimberlyhoward5279]

That's a great idea to use a matress protector, I am going to do this someday :) ty!

[@ontaviabrown2282]

I made this liner for my guinea pig’s cage today and it turned out soooooo good!!! It took me a while to get everything lined up but the finished product looks really good, I’m so excited to put it in their cage tomorrow!! I’m definitely making some of the pads tomorrow

[@rpmcmurphey927]

and also, reminding folks to leave a gap for turning the fabric inside out! Bravo wonderful Lady! Cheers-

[@skymontey7599]

i use a plastic shower liner on the bottom of cage then a towel to absorb, then a decorative soft fleece on top

[@aresol6487]

sky montey ooo a plastic shower liner! How smart and cheap! How's it been working out for you? Did you see it or just lay it

[@dullfog5997]

How fast does it get stinky?

[@Abby-kc2vy]

Will the shower liner melt in the washing machine

[@aresol6487]

little Magnificent you don’t wash it. Just rinse it with a hose or water it’s like plastic don’t wash it it will shrink and get deformed

[@Abby-kc2vy]

Are Sol will that be enough to clean it tho

[@angiekelly9382]

loved this video and fleece liner instructions were very easy to follow. Thanks for your helpful tips I've made lots of liners now for my 14 rescued piggies Thank you x

[@jackieworthington6892]

Thanks, I've made my 1st liner for my Daughters Guinea Pig today, purchased everything from B&M worked out around £30 for at least 2 sets, can't wait until my daughter gets home from work and tries it for size xxx

[@ashley5672]

I just got two piggies and was looking everywhere for how to make your own liners, thanks so much for this video! It's so helpful x

[@SqueakDreams]

Awh your welcome! I have a new one on the pads too! :)

[@ashley5672]

Squeak Dreams aw thank you, i’ll definitely watch that one too! :) x

[@miniaturehorse303]

Made 2 cage liners and 4 smaller pads. I used anti-pill fleece that was on sale; with a coupon it cost $3.00 a yard (usually sells for $10.99). For the absorbent middle I used adult bed pads (already had them). I found your video as a result of an internet search for cage liners. A link popped up for ready made and nearly died to see the cheapest was $35. Even if I didn't have a sewing machine, I'd use a running stitch to sandwich and hold it together in order to save that kind of money. I can see that this will be healthier and more comfortable for my girls and thank you very much for the video and saving me a boat load of money.

[@asmrcrafts9279]

Omg the tiny guinea wowwwww so precious

[@rpmcmurphey927]

I love how you showed how to quickly correct an error.

[@lizpascuzzi8596]

Thanks for another great video Sarah!!

[@lauracavern7757]

This is the best video online ANYWHERE for doing cage liners - you're so awesome!

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you so much!! 😃🌻

[@tulsisevadasi]

My machine wont go through three layers ... Great vid. Very clear explanation.

[@gracesguineas3049]

Looks great! This is the Same method I use except I use fleece on both sides and I don't have a sewing machine so I have to do it all y hand even though it takes about 3 or 4 hours it's totally worth it because liners look great and are easy to use

[@christinej2358]

You made a great tutorial. I never thought of using fitted bed liners. The waterproof lining would help eliminate the cost of the disposable bed pads. Thank you for sharing!

[@DonnaPiunt]

After making snuggle sacks from the pattern I brought from you, I noticed you have a tutorial on how to make pee pads as well as cage liners. Yay!! My next project I will be making cage liners for my 2 x 6 c & c cage. Thank you for your tutorials you have inspired me to make them!

[@samanthaparfitt5701]

I've just made my liners and pads for my daughters piggy cage. I would never have thought to do it without your brilliant videos! Thank you so much! Xx

[@katiegilson5831]

Sarah I love your videos! It's been a long couple months but j finally convinced my parents to let me get some. I was just going to get a pet store cage but I now have a c&c cage. Watching your videos I know how to care for the piggies now so thank you! You pigs are adorable!!! :)

[@Aimee0206]

Just wanted to say thank you for showing how you sewed the two bits of fleece together! I'm going to be making my first ever fleece liner soon, but the fleece I've ordered doesn't come in pieces big enough so I'll have to stitch two pieces together. I was worried about how I was going to do that, but this video will definitely come in handy! I don't have a sewing machine sadly, so I'll be doing it all by hand - wish me luck 😅

[@edenlaila956]

Do you sell these? I know it's none of my business but I really think that you could make a lot of money off of making these and selling these. They look really easy to do but for people like me with next to no spare time, or skill with a sewing machine, you should definitely consider selling these:) P.S. Is Lyra starting to come out of her shell a little bit?

[@bellavieve.b]

I love when I hear someone say bits and bobs! thank you for your tutorial. I have to get a sewing machine but plan on making liners as soon as I do. I'm tired of using just towels.

[@Nathalieenzoo]

Very useful ...now 3 years later I found your video because I was looking for how to make liners :-)

[@SqueakDreams]

I still use these fleece liners in 2021! More (and better!) tutorials: How to Make Waterproof Fleece Pads for the Cage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIu3d56hmdmUrMU How to Make Your Own Guinea Pig Cuddle Cup Beds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3u1hmeZadeji6M

[@ambishosza]

Hey, where did you get the zorb absorbent sheets?

[@rwojcik47]

Do your piggies burrow underneath these? I have fleece liners I made that goes up the sides and clipped down over the edge. I tried towels underneath, but I went back to using paper bedding and kitchen roll, which seems to be more absorbent. But messy! I think the pads might be easier, but my husband thinks they would burrow around the edges... As I am the cleaner of the cage, I'm thinking your pads might be easier!

[@SqueakDreams]

@@rwojcik47 No none of my piggies have ever burrowed under these 😊

[@kayladevlin1393]

My mom and I just finished making one for our piggies, thank you so much! It looks great :)

[@sareychim1655]

I followed your instructions and my cage liners turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your ideas! =)

[@larryashcraft9005]

Very helpful! This will make things so much more affordable

[@kkorrine77757]

just bought my cubes to make my cage. Cant wait to make these

[@motherpops]

brillinant. i wasnt too much detail. i love your pigs. so so cute.

[@ThePiggyPiggies]

I really want to try making some, even though they are probably not going to look as perfect as yours! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@sandystoys2920]

I have never used a sewing machine but I have bought some cloth and I am going to try to make my own cage liners, sleep sacks and maybe tunnels and pads for my hedgehogs c&c cage!

[@graciesmythe8889]

I love you and your piggies so so so much!

[@lauragreene212]

Thank you so much for the inspiration and education! My ratties will be so happy!

[@pinkpeony1048]

Thank you for this very practical & helpful guide. I am going to give this a try, as I am SOo over the sawdust thing😒! Your piggies look very happy !!

[@billiejeanwyatt3550]

I do enjoy your videos. I have 9 little piggies, and what a story behing them. Keep up the good work. Very entertaining.

[@iwondery1725]

It's always a pleasure watching your videos, thank you for your help in this - I want to make cage liners for my partner's piggles.

[@preramanna5590]

Your video is so informative and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing it! I’m ready to make my own liners 💃🏼

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful! :D

[@BudgetBunny]

Great video Sarah! I use Uhaul in mine and have noticed such a difference even from using fleece and towels! It is super absorbent and also great at keeping odours at a minimum!

[@Sheywh12]

Did you have to use a better sewing needle to go thru the U haul and fleece..Did you use 1 layer or 2?

[@Sheywh12]

Did you have to use a better sewing needle to go thru the U haul and fleece..Did you use 1 layer or 2?

[@patronuspottermsp2536]

kcim the U-Haul store. You can order it online too

[@spookyscaryskeletons6950]

Sheywh12 I have heard that 2 is a lot better for cushioning bunnies feet and helps bunnies with sore hocks but you can use 1 if you wish, it'll just be a bit less absorbant

[@screamstress7]

BudgetBunny LoL Kk Kk Okkpoppoppppppoppoppoppopoppopopopopopoopop

[@sweetblue3035]

Thank you very much...I will be trying this out this weekend. I would like to make some of the pads too. Such great ideas...thank you for sharing!

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you!

[@veronicakilpin8231]

Absolutely brilliant thank you so much.🙂❤️

[@maddie_2007]

Thank you so much for making this video. I have been wanting to make my own cage liners, but I didn't know how. I can't wait to make them now!

[@josephjackson5330]

Great video anywhere that sells secondhand clothing and baby stuff often also sell baby cot quilts that hang around the cot often with pictures on ,make good paded hide away tubes and beds .also you find fleece fabric in these places to give them a good wash on a 40 .car boots and buying a cheep thin single quilt is handy for inside padding .I'm Lucky I make clothing for a living my piggies love new things.🙋 great show.

[@thewendywoo3]

Thank you, this was a very helpful tutorial. I now feel more confident in making these for my fur babies. I am going to start with their loft first and then hopefully progress onto the main stage :)

[@SqueakDreams]

Excellent! I hope it goes well! Thank you for your comment 😁

[@TheMouseWizard]

I'm making a c&c cage today so this video came in handy!😊

[@vickymc9695]

Wow this is a really good idea.

[@jellyonaplate9402]

thank you so much for this!! I love you!

[@mommatspiggies8963]

I tried doing this last night! Just twoclayers though. Wasn't the best... But a good try for my first time! Hopefully the second time will end up better :) thanks for the video!

[@mandygilchrist8738]

Thank you for your video. I'm seriously considering making some of these to stop bits of sawdust getting in my piggy's bits! I love that all these materials are ones I might already have in.

[@SqueakDreams]

Ah no thats not good about the sawdust getting in their bits!! I hope the liner making goes well 😁❤️

[@mandygilchrist8738]

I've ordered lots of material and can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks again

[@churtchpidgeon8511]

Wonderful video, ive wanted to give it a go at making my own liners. But finding a video that shows you how isnt so easy, so im thrilled you made this video. Thank you!

[@SqueakDreams]

Churtch Pidgeon Your welcome! :D

[@susangrimshaw2050]

Brill video, thank you, I'm getting a cage ready so I can buy two baby piggies and I want it just right and I'm watching all ur vids , thank you x

[@danijasinski1322]

Wow! I love this video. Thank you. I'm going to try and do my own.

[@BojanaS86]

Thanks so much for this! I live in Ireland which means I could get pretty much the same material for cheap as well. Not much of I seamstress, don't have a sewing machine either so had to sew by hand, but I managed to put something together for our piggies that'll hopefully do the job.

[@janbrow9623]

Thank You for the video we need research

[@preppypiggy2735]

Great idea!!! Thanks so much.

[@kiiabby]

If anyone is watching this in 2017, B&M have the fleeces and matress protectors used in this video still. I managed to get 4 fleeces, a double bed matress protector and a bale of 4 towels for £30!

[@rhondamays9768]

I will learn to make them

[@1303harley]

Thank you for sharing this it has been so helpful

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you! Glad this helped! 😀

[@tat2757]

[@1Ynotred]

Your Guinea pigs are so cuuuuuuuuuuute😍😍😍😍

[@katiegarcia8484]

I would love to be able to make this ! Great video! Thank you !

[@4browers]

Very helpful, thank you! We just added a bunny to our family and I'm pretty crafty, so I was looking for a way to save money on washable cage pads! Your idea for mattress liners was fabulous and just what I needed. I can't wait to make some this weekend!

[@oana1111]

Fantastic, thanks for the detailed video and instructions. As I had them only for a few weeks, I haven't made anything special, just use pieces of painters fleece, the waterproof one. The only problem is that my piggies are getting under them, using them as covers :)) They are still messing up the plastic cage underneath. Also painters fleece can be washed only a couple of times before it gets unglued from is backing.

[@evenewby1719]

These liners are great I have made myself, they are sooooooo useful!

[@squeakheartcavies2662]

I love the sewing videos! I love making stuff like this for my pigs, I just never really could make it professional. :) I love these types of videos! Please post more!
