DIY Pet Hammock

I was surfing Pinterest the other day and I came across a "DIY Pet Hammock" and I thought, oh yeah, I'm trying that! The instructions were complicated for such a simple project. So I've decided to make my own instructions - after I had built my hammock so I don't have all the steps in images.

This is my handsome man Simon!

Tools:

• You can use just about any blanket/towel. I went to the local dollar store and bought a baby blanket, my cats LOVE super soft blankies!
• Scissors or a knife (used to make holes in the blanket and cut yarn)
• Thick/strong yarn, string, really anything that's long and can be strong enough to hold your pet
• A crochet hook can help pull the yarn/string/ect through the blanket/towel
• Hooks if you're not planning to tie your hammock to the under part of a table
• Redbull optional
• Elastic bands if you are braiding and tying to a table to help hold the yarn/string/ect to the table

1. Take your blanket/towel and fold it to the size you would like, then cut holes on all four corners right beneath the corners
2. Thread the yarn/string/material through your holes, if you are tying your hammock to a table you can braid or crochet a nice pattern, if you are just hanging or pinning it to something, you just need to tie a few knots
3. Once your four corners are tied/braided, you can attach the hooks if you are hooking it, to make sure the hook will interlock and support the hammock
4. Install/tie and allow you pet to explore the hammock themselves, if you just throw them in it - which I attempted to do - they'll just take longer to use it
