How to: Make a Dog Bed in Less than an Hour
And it won’t cost a lot either!
Oh, and it doesn’t involve sewing…
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 yard of 58″ wide fleece
1 20″ x 28″ x 2″ pillow
Start by cutting the fleece in half along the fold. This will give you two pieces of fleece measuring 29″ x 36″.
Create a fringe along all four sides of each piece of fleece by cutting 3″ long cuts, 1″ apart. You will end up removing a 3″ square piece of fleece from each corner. Once completed, your fleece pieces will look like this:
Next, put your fleece pieces on top of one another, lining up the corner cutouts. Form knots along one short and the two long edges using a single fringe piece from each side. Leave one short edge unknotted for now.
Insert the pillow into the fleece and knot the remaining fringe pieces together.
Voila! Dog bed…
