Animal Duvet Cover
How To Make A Pet Duvet Cover
Animal bedding is becoming more and more popular. With
celebrities like Paris Hilton pushing animal clothing
and accessories onto the world, pet owners are becoming
more aware of animal fashion. Pet owners are spending
70% more on pet clothing than they have in the past. The
trend of the pampered pets is popular and is not going
anywhere anytime soon. Animal duvet covers are one of
the trends, with pet bedding being on the rise. Use
these tips to learn how to make your own animal duvet
cover.
Before the trend of pet bedding, there was the pet purse
trend. People with small pooches have spent up to $1500
on designer pet purses to carry their precious pets in.
After that phase died out a bit, along came pet bedding.
Many millionaires have allowed their pets entire
bedrooms for their sleeping and frolicking. Bedding is a
serious area for pet lovers. Beds are becoming more and
more elaborate, with some even looking like miniature
human beds with posts and all.
Along with the pet beds, came along pet sheets,
comforters, and pillows. With pets being treated to
items like down comforters, animal duvet covers have
become the new sought after item to have. Animal duvet
covers offer pets and their owners a protective coating
for an expensive down throw or comforter.
Finding this interesting item may be difficult at this
time, as not too many pet designers are making them yet.
So, if you are dying to have one immediately, try making
your own. For middle classed pet owners, get a small
down mixture throw from your local general merchandise
store. These items usually cost around $20 and are very
comfortable. To protect the item however, it should be
covered.
The next step in making the animal duvet cover is to
purchase material. Try to find material that will not
show dirt easily and one that is washable. Buy enough
material to cover your entire throw. The ladies at the
craft store can help you measure the throw if need be.
Turn your material inside out. Then, using a sewing
machine, sew a manila envelope shape with the material,
leaving room and an opening at the top to fold over.
After finishing the sides, you can turn the material
right side in. Most duvets will have buttons to hold the
duvet in place, but with animal duvet covers, buttons
can pose a choking hazard, so Velcro is suggested.
Attach the Velcro to the underside of the flap as well
as the top of the envelope shape. Put your throw inside,
and you have your finished look.
This is great because when it becomes spoiled, you can
simply remove the throw and toss the cover into the
washing machine. Making your own animal duvet cover is
easy and fun. It allows you to also color coordinate
your pet’s bedding with your own or with the room in
which they sleep. Your friends will adore your animal
duvet cover. Soon, you will be making them for all of
the pet owners you know!
