DIY Dog Bed!

I got this post from 2 Dog Trail Positive Dog Training on Facebook!   Such a great idea!!

DIY dog bed! You will need: an old sweatshirt, bed pillow, polyfill or other stuffing, one lucky dog.
1. stuff sleeves and shoulder/collar area of sweatshirt (you might need to put in a few stitches to create a "pocket" in the body of the shirt.)
2. insert pillow through bottom of shirt.
3. stitch end of sleeves together
4. attach pillow "ring" to bed bottom with a few stitches. Enjoy!





I think this is brilliant.  1)  It reuses/ recycles an old sweatshirt.  2)  Jaz already sleeps on my laundry pile anyway, so I think she'd love it.   (Since it has my scent on it!)  


I 'pin' a lot of cute/creative ideas on Jasmine's Pinterest.  But this one I think I'll actually try!!!  ;)

    1. We have one, too, so didn't think we would be able to find a sweat shirt large enough. Thinking about what I might be able to do to convert my old, tattered horse blankets for her though!

    2. For a larger bed, use 2 sweatshirts. Fill them, position botoom to bottom, cuffs of one shirt to other, and sew

  8. I never thought that making a dog bed is just as easy as this one! I’ve been planning to give my dog her own bed, but still inside my bedroom. I hope I can make one myself or I’ll end up buying one.
