Equipment

  • Sewing Machine
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread

Materials

  • Hardware Cloth - I used 1/4 in 23 gauge
  • Quilting batting - an old towel or sock would probably work too
  • Duct Tape
  • Fabric

Instructions

  • Start by cutting the hardware cloth to size. I chose 4 inches wide by 10 inches long, but you can adjust this to suit your needs
  • Wrap the sharp edges with duct tape.
  • Wrap a layer or two of quilt batting all around.
  • Use more duct tape to cover the edges of the batting.
  • Sew a sleeve to fit over the piece with fabric leaving one of the short sides open.
  • Fit the sleeve onto the covered mesh and hand sew the opening closed.

Notes

If you don't sew you can try fabric glue or stitch witchery to make the sleeve for the cuff. Other ideas would be to use a sock or an actual sleeve from a garment and hand stitch the ends. Or maybe you crochet or knit? That would be a great way to cover the cuff.
