Pet Mats Instructions

The icy-cool Pet Mat can easily be made using 2 pillowcase sheets and some of our WaterGel Crystal granules.   Pet Mats Instructions (patterns)
      (Agricultural blend polymer, Medium blend, AgM)

One pillowcase sheet is used for making the Pet Mat while the second is used as a pillowcase cover.
             Using a second cover sheet makes washing and cleanup easier.

Select pillowcase sizes, sew using the pillowcase for the inside only.

Refer to sample drawing below and create tubes by sewing and filling each tube with dry crystal granules.

For a 2 inch wide by 7 inch long tubes, use approximately 1 teaspoon of the medium crystal granules.
 
Adjust the amount of crystals you use to fit the size of your tubes and pillow.
        Caution - using to many granules will cause the tubes to rip open when the Pet Mat is placed in water to hydrate the granules.

Place Pet Mat in cool/cold water for ~1 hour to hydrated the crystal granules.

Remove from water, cover with second pillowcase.   Done!

The completed Pet Mat can be hand washed using mild soap and water.   Rinse thoroughly.

TO DRY
         Hang up in open air and allow to completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.
 

6 teaspoons of crystals is about 1 ounce
