Because one of out pups is just four months old, he&#8217;s already ruined two dog beds from the store. That&#8217;s it! No more brand new dog beds. I started doing some research to figure out ways to make cute DIY dog beds out of second hand materials. Boy, was I surprised at how many adorable designs I found!

I like this project because it can be done without sewing. If you have a sewing machine, you can sew two squares or rectangles of fleece together (or two fleece blankets cut to size), and then stuff with used bedding. As an alternative, if you don&#8217;t have a sewing machine (like me) cut the edges into fringe and then tie the fringe together. Stuff it with bedding, and it&#8217;s ready to go!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furniture_Transformation\"><\/span>Furniture Transformation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_409006048\" style=\"width: 416px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-409006048\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-409006048\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/igor-dog-bed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/igor-dog-bed.jpg 406w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/igor-dog-bed-342x500.jpg 342w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-409006048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/endorsedbyigor.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/igors-home-console-to-dog-house.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsedbyigor.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Igor of &#8220;Endorsed by Igor&#8221; brings us this fantastic idea of transforming a furniture find into a hide-away dog bed!
