How to Make Ferret Clothes

Animal clothing is becoming increasingly popular with pet owners around the world and is a widely growing phenomenon, especially for small animals like teacup breed dogs and even ferrets. However, purchasing these animal threads can be just as expensive as buying clothes for a child, so it's much more budget friendly to make your own ferret or other small animal clothing.

Things You'll Need

  • 1 bandanna (pattern of your choice)
  • Needle and thread

Instructions

  1. Bandanna Ferret Vest

    • 1

      Lay the bandanna down on a flat surface, and even out any wrinkles or folds. Iron if necessary.

    • 2

      Fold the bandanna once from one corner to the opposite, making it look a bit like a wide triangle.

    • 3

      Using your threaded needle, fold the longest tip of the triangle-shaped bandanna inward, creating a loop. Sew it into place. After you do this, slide the unhooked cat collar through the looped fabric.

    • 4

      Sew the Velcro squares on the remaining two points, making sure to face the textured sides upward.

    • 5

      Lay the vest on the ferret's back, with the folded end pointed to the tail. Fasten the Velcro-covered ends around the neck loosely, and then securely hook the collar around the torso of the ferret.
