Step 1Remove all handles, straps and locks from an old hat box.
-
Step 2In a well-ventilated area (preferably outside!) place onto a piece of cardboard or newspaper and spray paint with a coat of primer.
-
Step 3Spray paint with a brightly coloured all-purpose spray paint. Use fewer fine layers of spray paint rather than one thick coat and allow to dry thoroughly between layers.
-
Step 4Cut tea towels (I found these at the pound shop) to the depth of the hat box and use PVA glue to stick them to the inner edges. Tip - use the already-hemmed edges of the tea towels at the top of the box for neatness.
Repeat this process in the lid and line the centre with a circle cut from the tea towel.
-
Step 5Cut two circles from the tea towels to fit inside the hat box. Stitch with right-sides together, leaving a gap for stuffing.
-
Step 6Stuff with the filling from an old pillow or cushion and sew up the opening.
-
Step 7Place the cushion inside the hat box and invite your furry friends to try it out!
