Introduction

If you’re a pet parent of a bearded dragon, you probably already know they love lounging on soft and comfortable surfaces. As with any pet, you want them to feel relaxed and comfortable in their surroundings, and that’s where a bearded dragon couch comes in! A bearded dragon couch is the perfect accessory to add to your pet’s vivarium or enclosure.

While there are some commercially available bearded dragon couches, making one yourself is much more fun and satisfying. In this blog post, we’ll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to make your own DIY bearded dragon couch. It’s easy, budget-friendly and a great weekend project!

Materials You Will Need

• Foam cushion (cut to your desired size)
• Fabric (enough to cover the cushion)
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Thread and needle (or sewing machine)
• Measuring tape
• Pins
• Optional: batting (for extra cushioning)

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start by measuring the size of your cushion. This will help you determine how much fabric you will need. Be sure to add an extra 2-3 inches of fabric to each side to allow for folding and gluing.

2. Cut the fabric to the size of the cushion, leaving extra allowance on each side.

3. Fold the edges of the fabric and glue them to the back of the cushion using the hot glue gun. Pay attention to the corners and make sure they are well glued so that they don’t come apart later. Make sure that the glued areas are all on the back of the cushion, so that your bearded dragon won’t accidentally ingest any glue.

4. If you want extra cushioning, add batting on top of the cushion before you glue the fabric.

5. Once the fabric is fully glued, use a needle and thread (or your sewing machine) to sew the edges together. This will give it a neater and more professional look. If you don’t have a sewing machine, use a blanket stitch or simple straight stitch with a needle and thread.

Extra Tips

1. Choose fabrics that are easy to wash and have minimal designs. This makes cleaning much easier.

2. You can use different types of foam to achieve your desired level of cushioning. Foam can be found at local craft and fabric stores or online retailers.

3. Make sure the couch fits comfortably in your bearded dragon’s enclosure, and it’s not too big or too small for them.
