The Bun-Gee Jumper: A Vertical Gravity-Defier
The Goal: Turning gravity into a playmate and encouraging high-intensity stretching.
The Team: Handcrafted by Mojo Projects.
The Design: A high-tension, braided suspension system made of upcycled armor.
The Bun-Gee Jumper is a prestigious vertical tool we use to challenge the “interior design by tooth” crowd. By upcycling humble paper rolls into a braided obstacle course, we create a multi-level workout that rewards pets for their tug-and-twist deconstruction skills. It is built to look like a high-end boutique installation but functions as a rugged, hardware-free system that can be systematically dismantled and rebuilt.
What Makes a Jumper?
| The Part | What it’s Called | What it Does |
| Upcycled Rolls | The Armor | Tight-rolled cardboard cylinders that provide a sturdy surface for chewing. |
| Untreated Fiber | The Lifeline | Rugged rope or cord used to create the high-tension braided core. |
| Fringed Tassels | The Strike Zone | Soft endpoints that provide tactile stimulation and a target for pulling. |
| Suspension Hook | The Anchor | The top attachment point that keeps the challenge hanging in mid-air. |
How to Build a Jumper (Mojo Projects Instructions)
1. Preparing the Armor
The Mojo Projects team starts by collecting clean, sturdy cardboard rolls. These are cut into uniform sections and reinforced to ensure they can handle the ambitious architectural edits of a determined pet.
2. The Braiding Phase
We use a high-tension braiding method to interlace the untreated fiber through and around the cardboard armor. This creates a central “spine” that remains flexible enough to bounce but strong enough to support a full-body workout.
3. Setting the Levels
The armor segments are spaced out to create a multi-level obstacle course. Each section is locked into place using nothing but the tension of the braid—no glue and no hardware—ensuring the entire unit remains pet-safe during deconstruction.
4. Adding the Fringed Finish
At the base and along the sides, we add fringed tassels and fiber loops. These act as the primary “strike zone,” giving the residents a place to grab hold and begin the tugging process.
5. The Gravity Test
Give the whole system a firm pull from the bottom. If the braid holds tight and the armor stays suspended without slipping, it is ready to be hung in the habitat for the high-hopping elite.
A Friendly Reminder: Please keep an eye on your pets while they play. No toy lasts forever! Check the suspension regularly and replace any heavily “edited” cardboard sections to keep the mission safe and fun.
