You Will Need
-
Step 1Start by screwing together a basic box-style frame. We made ours from a sheet of pine plywood as well as an additional pine board. The size was cut to fit a small dog cushion-style bed that we already owned, but you could substitute a pillow, or standard 2" foam cut to the right size for your pet.
-
Step 2Paint the box and the legs. These are standard wooden tapered legs, which we purchased from Lowe's. Make sure you also purchase the brackets that hold the legs - you can choose straight or angled (our brackets are angled). The legs cost around $3 each.
-
Step 3Once everything is painted and dried, attach the legs to your box frame. From here, you just put the small dog bed or a pillow in the frame, as a cushion.
-
Step 4We covered our cushion in a retro style Star Trek fabric. The paint color we used is Pantone Emerald.
