Tutorial: How to Make a Pet Bed out of a Suitcase...

This is a tutorial on how to make a pet bed out of a suitcase and a few other supplies...

My supplies were
Suitcase 3.99
4 wooden feet 3.96
1 can of black spraypaint 1.00
Felt Pads 1.50
Grand Total= 10.45

After spray painting the feet in the driveway I brought them inside and added four felt pads each to protect the floor…

Then I slathered them with hot glue and attached them to the corners on the suitcase…

the actual ‘bed’ part is a flimsy body pillow we had in the attic covered in her usual blanket, and stuff in…it is perfect for a plush sleeping place…

I added some flowered scrapbook ‘wall’ paper…homemade bunting…and a few vintage photos I had in my stash framed with scrapbook frames and attached with clothespins…the clothespins were a little too heavy and pulling the pocket down so I hot glued the back to the wallpaper leaving easy access to change the pictures if I want…

Little Bit was IN LOVE with this bed, and slept only there after it was finished...she would burrow in the blankets and I would cover and tuck her in when she looked cold...she was an amazing dog...
