10 DIY Pet Beds You'll Want to Make

Easy and adorable DIY pet bed projects for dogs and cats of all sizes.


With two dogs and a cat in our family, we've gone through a lot of pet beds. My little dog loves his crate, my cat loves the big dog's bed, and my big dog honestly prefers the couch. Or my bed. But now that he's getting a little older and feeling some aches and pains, I've been on the lookout for the perfect bed for him. And since I love a good DIY project, I've pulled together some adorable and totally doable DIY pet beds. These ideas are so cute, I might have to make new beds for all my pets (Christmas is just around the corner, right?).
