I would like your beloved pet to have all the best: its own place, its own bowls and, of course, its own cozy bed. You can go shopping for a long time and choose houses and bedding - and you still can't decide. How not to guess what your dog will really like? In fact, nothing is easier! Dogs feel great love and care, and the best bed for them will be a bed made with your own hands!
1. Round bed
Small decorative breeds of dogs are very fond of round beds: they are warm, safe and you can hide from the outside world. You can make it yourself in just a few hours using the simplest basic pattern. The diameter of the bottom depends on the size of your pet, which can be measured when the pet settles down comfortably - on average, it is 25-65 cm.
2. A sofa bed for a dog
Such a couch will take a little more time and skill. Cut out parts for the bottom and a long side from dense fabric separately and fill them with holofiber or any other filler. The bottom can first be reinforced with thick cardboard, and then put a pillow inside.
3. Lounger from a sweatshirt
If you have an old warm sweatshirt left over, you can use scissors and thread to turn it into the perfect bed for your dog. Turn the jacket inside out and sew the collar, leaving a small hole. Then stitch from armpit to armpit, sew the sleeves to the side and form the bumpers. It remains to fill the bed, put a pillow inside and sew all the edges.

4. Bed made of plywood with legs
To make your pet a real royal bed, you will need a sheet of plywood, several boards, stable metal legs and fasteners. Assemble a box from plywood with boards using self-tapping screws, or immediately take a finished pallet. Screw on the legs, carefully grind the entire structure, prime and paint on top.
All you have to do is put a pillow of a suitable size inside - and the bed for your dog is ready! You can complement it with a toy box or decorate with letters, laying out the name of your pet. And to make your pet's sleeping place mobile, use wheels instead of legs.
5. A bed from a suitcase
For small dogs, an old, hard, larger suitcase is suitable, from which an excellent bed will turn out in just 20 minutes. You just need to cut or remove the top and put inside the mattress from a piece of foam rubber covered with fabric. And further decor, painting, legs and other little things - at your discretion.
6. Fringed lounger
Turn an unwanted fleece blanket into a warm and cozy fringed bed. This fabric is convenient in that you do not need to process the edges, so just leave 4-5 cm for the fringe and cut it. Place a pillow or filler inside and tie the fringe ribbons together. You don't even need a needle and thread for this bed!

7. Lounger in a cover
If your dog already has a bed, but it is worn out and looks unpresentable, the easiest way is to cover it with a cover. Carpet or other dense and durable material will work well. If you make a cover with a fastener or ties, it can be easily removed for washing.
8. Bed in the chest of drawers
An old chest of drawers can be converted into a cozy dog nest with minimal effort. It is enough to remove the bottom drawers, guides, fasteners and other potentially dangerous parts. The bottom and sides can be reinforced with thin sheets of plywood, and then sanded, sanded and painted from the inside. All you have to do is put a pillow to size inside!
9. Bed from a stool or table
By the same principle, an inverted stool or bedside table can also be made an excellent bed for a dog. Primer, paint, decoration, pillow - all this remains unchanged.The peculiarity of such a house is in long legs that rise up. Complete the structure with a light air canopy - and you will get a real royal bed!
