Repurpose Old Furniture Into Pet Beds

September 10, 2012 by Amanda Formaro

Repurpose Old Furniture Into Pet BedsThe DIY Network has a fun feature with several ideas on how to take a nightstand or side table and repurpose it into a bed for your pet. Of course, if you pet is a 100 pound German Shepherd like mine, chances are this won’t work for you. But if you have a smallish doggie and you have an old table, check out How to Turn Old Furniture Into New Pet Beds.

Looking for more things to hand-make and DIY for your dog? Check out some of our favorite things to make for dogs. 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. It is noisy, it flips and spins and has a spout for him to grab.
