Dog Bed - recycling old pillows

Step 2: Sewing up the sides

I then was left with two other pillows one was huge, so i took the stuffing out and pulled it into two halfs to use on the base, so it wasnt so thick.
Although stuffing is a personal choice to how you would like it to took and feel.

I then only tacked on the corners of the base to the main sausage like sides,
This was for ease also to see how it would sit and if the dog liked it that way.
( I will change this now he likes it, to have Velcro on the corners)

I will also have a look around for a dye and throw the lot in for a wash and hang out to dry on the line.

This saved me $70 plus, on a new doggie bed. ( meduim to large ).
And it used up my old pillows that were destined for the trashcan.
Plus you could get really creative with the pillow rolls and design.

Thank you.
ALD.

Thank you for this! I have been stockpiling old pillows hoping to find a good use for them rather than tossing them out. This is perfect. Our German shepherd dog is lacking a bed and always sneaking onto the furniture when no one is looking. I'm sure she will really appreciate her own bed!
