    Cool My DIY Playgyms I just made!

    So I finally finished these new great play gyms and t-stands I made for my birdie buddies! I've made them from PVC. I found this great book that gave me directions on how to put them together. Which was really helpful. I tried making a pvc perch years ago and it was way to flimsy. So having step by step help in designing it was great!

    Here are some pics:

    Savannah's Play Gym





    Quincy's Play Gym





    Savannah's T-Stand



    Quincy's T-Stand



    I was able to build in a swing on both gyms. They are both getting used to them and haven't really moved around on them much, but I figured that will improve with time! The newspaper I think isn't really necessary as I have plastic on my floor which is easy to clean up. The newspaper is kind of a pain to put down constantly! I think I just wanted them to stay pretty for the pics! I haven't tried the t-stands yet, but look forward to having a couple of good portable perches to use around the house! Next on my DIY list is window/shower perches and possible car perches for going back and forth to work only!

    Haha I'm sure I love making big things like playgyms or big toys, I can't stand making small toys, my fingers are to big...

    I think you would enjoy it. Small toys are way to tedious and I have fat finger syndrome!

    Terri - Thanks! I have too many business already! Lol!
