20 Awesome DIY Pet Projects to Make for Your Dog & Cat

Fun DIY pet projects that you'll want to try if you have a dog, cat, or both!

There's no one more fun to make a DIY project for than your pet. We have two dogs and a cat in our family (you can meet my pets here) and I love creating personalized toys and home accents just for them. It's a great way to add a little style to our home and also really fun projects for my kids to do too. I've pulled together some of my favorite DIY pet projects - a few that we have made and some that are on my must do list. Whether you have a dog, cat, or both you will find something that you will all love!
