Easy DIY dog crate cover to hide it away

November 2, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

Many folks have recently adopted dogs, and along with a dog comes a dog crate. Dog crates are not pretty in the home. This is a simple tutorial to turn the unsightly dog crates into a side table. What is unique about this is that it covers two dog crates and not in the typical orientation. This works well for people who have small spaces and can’t put their crates in to end. See the full tutorial and learn how to make your own dog crate hideaway cover here.

Owning a dog can be very expensive and not only does making your own dog beds, coats and toys seem like fun, it is also a great way to save money on pet supplies too.  One of our puppy’s favorite homemade dog toy is a soda bottle ½ filled with rice.

    How is this ventilated? It cuts airflow and could be uncomfortable for the dogs.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2025: My Top Amazon Picks She’ll Actually Love

Alright, let’s be real—Mother’s Day sneaks up on us every single year. Suddenly, it’s May, and you’re scrambling to find something that says, “Hey, Mom, you’re amazing,” without resorting to last-minute drugstore flowers (though no shame if that’s your move—moms love flowers).

Luckily, Amazon’s got a killer Mother’s Day gift roundup (check it out here), and I’ve combed through it to find the best of the best. Whether your mom’s a spa queen, a tech guru, or the sentimental type, these picks will make her feel extra loved.

1. For the Mom Who Deserves a Spa Day

Luxury Robe & Slipper Set – Because every mom deserves to lounge like royalty. Pair it with a lavender-scented candle or a jade roller set for ultimate relaxation vibes.

2. For the Sentimental Queen

Custom Photo Jewelry or Engraved Keepsake – Necklaces with kids’ birthstones, engraved bracelets, or even a digital photo frame pre-loaded with family pics? Instant tears (the happy kind).

3. For the Tech-Savvy Mom

Kindle Paperwhite – If she’s a bookworm, this is a game-changer. No glare, waterproof, and holds thousands of books. Bonus: Get her a Kindle Unlimited subscription for endless reading.

4. For the Chef Extraordinaire

Instant Pot Duo Crisp – Because air frying + pressure cooking = mealtime magic. Throw in a fancy olive oil set or personalized cutting board for extra brownie points.

5. For the Always-On-the-Go Mom

Yeti Rambler Tumbler – Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours, and it’s basically indestructible. Pair it with a stylish tote bag or insulated lunchbox for the win.

6. For the Green Thumb

Indoor Herb Garden Kit – Fresh basil at her fingertips? Yes, please. Or go big with a smart garden system that does the work for her.

7. For the Mom Who Has Everything

Subscription Box – Wine, books, skincare—there’s a box for every interest. It’s the gift that keeps giving (and reminds her of you all year).

Final Tip: Don’t Forget the Card!

Even if you go all out, a handwritten note is what she’ll really treasure. (Pro tip: Amazon has cute personalized cards too.)

Shop the full Amazon Mother’s Day collection here and score fast shipping so you’re not in a panic on May 12th.
