How to DIY Doggie Bed?

You could leave the top of the suit case on and add your pup’s name to the back or even store dog toys in the flap, but for me it was a little too much green for my house. So time to crank out the hammer to disassemble….

See that beast? Yep, no screws. But not to worry we managed to figure out that you can wedge the hammer in to unhook the latch.

Brute Force- yep.

Next I snagged these furniture legs at Home Depot for about $3 each. Now let’s be real, my doxie is pretty short so even these legs will be a little too high (these are 6″) so I decided to cut them….

Chop away!

Now time to stain the wood!
Another option: you could also spray paint them a fun color!

Now it’s time to add the legs! Drill in through the suitcase and then add a bolt to hold in the leg.

Snagged this pillow at a garage sale for .50 and then found some scrap Chevron print.

Yes, I will admit I didn’t even sew it! The pillow fits so snug I knew just folding it wouldn’t be an issue, but you could sew fabric or even use a pillow case, then it’s easy to wash.

And there she is workin’ it modeling again. Turned out pretty cute huh?

Here’s a close look for ya!!

Caught the little peanut sleeping away in it, I think she approves!
Thanks for Zestin’!
