What cat doesn't love towels, especially warm ones? Mine do so much that they chose one to make their permanent warm snuggy spot. Good thing it has a bleach stain on it! So I figured since the towel is already ugly, and the cats like it, why not make them a real pet bed.
This project was free for me, since I used materials on hand, including old t-shirts for the bedding.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Bath Towel
  • 8 Old T Shirt sor batting
  • Rotary Cutter or fabric shears
  • Time

Steps (7 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut your bath towel in half.

  2. 2

    Fold in half and sew up the sides and part of the front.

  3. 3

    Shred your t-shirts. I used four t-shirts for one bed. First cut into long strips. If you have a rotary cutter, this will be easy. No need for a ruler, just cut!

  4. 4

    Then cut your strips into small squares.

  5. 5

    You can use scissors for this too.

  6. 6

    Fill the bed with the scraps.

  7. 7

    Stitch the opening by hand with a whip stitch. Toss in the dryer to warm a little. Not too long after I made this, my cats came over and had a nap on their new beds, instead of on my legs!.
