Build A Dog Bed
Grabbing a dog bed at your local pet store can be expensive and honestly, they don’t often last too long. If your dog is just going to tear something apart you might want to Build A Dog Bed of your own. Or if you have a unique color or print you like this can give you a chance to create something to blend in with your home.
Supplies:
56” x 30” piece of fleece fabric
Sewing Machine*
1-2 large bags of stuffing
Straight pins
Directions:
Step 1: Lay the fabric out on a flat surface. Fold the fabric in half (with the print on the inside). You should now have a 28”x30” square.
Step 3: Use the straight pins to pin the sides together. This will help keep the fabric from shifting when sewing.
Step 4: Using a ¼” allowance sew the sides of the fabric together leaving a 6”=8” opening on one side.
Step 5: Turn the fabric right side out. Stuff the bed with the stuffing until it’s as full as you like.
Step 6: Use the sewing machine to sew the opening closed.
*If you do not have access to has sewing machine you can use seaming tape to adhere the edges together. Simply fold the raw edges in, tape down with the seaming tape and then use a warm iron to secure the edges together.
