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.

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.

Instructions

  1. Small catbed1 1286913768

    Cut your bath towel in half.

  2. Small catbed2 1286913823

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

  3. Small catbed3 1286913948

    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. Small catbed4 1286914004

    Then cut your strips into small squares.

  5. Small catbed5 1286914046

    You can use scissors for this too.

  6. Small catbed6 1286914093

    Fill the bed with the scraps.

  7. Small catbed7 1286914329

    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!.
