DIY Rat Tent

Make a tent for your rats! Draw the shape of a tent wall, a square for the tent floor and a rectangle for the tent tabs on a piece of paper or cardboard and cut out the templates. Use the templates to cut out the pieces of fabric needed, cut matching pieces of fabric for lining and sew the linings to the decorative fabrics. Fold and sew the tabs for the tent pole holders and supports, cut a hole for the doorway from one wall of the tent and line the edges of the hole with a ribbon of fabric. Sew the bottom edge of each wall to the floor, pin the tabs to the walls, sew the walls shut and remove the pins. Unfold a wire hanger, cut the hanger in half and bend the wires to fit the tent.
