The tube is really simple - it can be made with or without a third entrance hole. If you want to make one without the hole then just treat the material as though it’s a hammock ( deguworld.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Cage&action=display&thread=16668 ) and stitch two ends together.
To work out the lenth of the fabric you’ll need to make a specific diameter of tube, use this calculation – 3.14xdiameter (so for a 10cm/3.9” diameter you would need 31.4cm/12.4” of material
All you need is:
1) If making a third entrance, draw a circle in the centre of the fabric
2) Cut out the circle
3) Stitch around the entire outer edge of the fabric
4) Turn it inside out and stich up the edge of the hole
5) Stitch as close to the edge of the fabric as you can
Optional – quilt the fabric
6) Stitch up the long edge of the fabric to make a tube
7) Add the eyelets depending on whether you want the hole to be on the top or side of the tunnel
Side entrance
Top entrance
