I made a dog bed!

[cyncyn]

I'm having so much fun getting ready for our new dog that I had to share

The finished bed! I made two beds with different covers and I might make a couple more covers just for fun

Here's how I made it from a cardboard box and an old pillow: Dog Bed Instructions from the Craft forum.

That's awesome, you did a great job! I use to make my own beds for my Danes b/c you can't find them and when you can, they cost a fortune! It cost me about $30 bucks to make this one for my harl male

(that's not my dd, that's a friends' dd)

and I made all the ones in this pic except the one in the very back.

(and yes that is 3 Danes all fitting on one bed!)

It was a lot of fun. We made them with zippers so we could wash the covers. Maybe one day I'll start again.

I LOVE those!! Thanks for posting a how-to, I've bookmarked it for the future

That's great! Looks very nice and I like how the cover is removable.

Angie, those beds are awesome. I have big dogs too. We just ended up buying a bed from Petco. It's almost a full foot thick and large enough that my mastiff can sprawl out on it and be off the floor. This is the one we got:
PETCO Rectangular Dog Bed in Brown

The rest of their dog beds just seemed too small for my dogs, or so flat I didn't think they'd like them.

I may have to email you if this current bed doesn't last!!

If you can sew, you can make a bed!
