Tutorial To Make Your Own Pet Bed Out Of A Crate

August 28, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

If you have a furry friend around your home, they are probably just as much a part of the family as the other humans in your home.  As such, you want them to be as comfortable as possible and also, let them have a space of their own.  This cute craft from Meet The B’s is a great way to use those crates you see at the craft store.  It’s such a cute little idea, and can be used for a cat or even a small dog.  Check out her tutorial and make one up just in time for those cold days when your little pets will be spending more time indoors.

Find the tutorial here: DIY Pet Bed
