Pet lovers, I have a DIY project you can make using things you probably have laying around your home. You only need 2 products besides your scissors and a measuring tape. Every spring I buy new pillows and what better way to recycle my old ones than with some cute and comfy dog beds? I’ve got some out of town trips coming up and while I usually take Peanut everywhere, he’s going to have to stay at a local kennel for about 5 days for one of them. I wanted to make something that would help him with the transition of being away from mommy, that would make him feel like he was at home and that he could sleep on, so, I decided to cut up one of his favorite flannel blankets and make a travel dog pillow for him. I’m letting him sleep on it now so by the time I leave, he’ll feel comforted by his bed. When we get back, I can throw it in the wash. His 2 best doggie buddies will be with him so I kept that in mind when designing the dog bed. They all 3 love to pile in the same dog bed so I already know they’ll all be piled up on the pillow. And that’s okay, all 3 of them are Chihuahuas and tiny little things so a standard size pillow was a perfect choice.
I got this idea off of Pinterest and if you click on my link, you’ll find hundreds of ideas to make DIY Recycled Travel Dog Beds of every sort and size.
Today’s dog bed is easy, no sew, and of course, when you use recycled products, you help save our landfills.
The goods:
Cut fleece blanket in half. Cut off edging. Peanut is not making this easy for me.
With both pieces together, cut corners off, 5 inches on the long side and 4 inches on the short.
With both pieces still together, cut 1-inch strips all the way around.
Add pillow in between both pieces of flannel. Peanut continues to hinder my project.
Tie top and bottom pieces together in knots, all the way around.
That’s it. Happy dog, happy life.
I wash my pillows on delicate cycle and hang them out on the clothesline. I’ve never tried putting them in the dryer, so I am not sure how they’ll fair in one. If you decide to make your own DIY Recycled Travel Dog Bed, I’d love to see your finished product in the below comments.

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads
up! Other then that, very good blog!
Hi mates, how is the whole thing, and what you would like to say on the topic of this piece
of writing, in my view its really remarkable for me.
Ranthambore National park includes a huge variety of animals, birds and reptiles within it.
Ngorongoro: Home to critically endangered Black Rhino, Ngorongoro is really a crater which encloses numerous species within its boundary.
But after events of going through the dusty planes
of Kenya, you are able to enjoy a pampering retreat in the warm
beaches of Mombasa.
I always was interested in this subject and still am, thank you
for posting.
How adorable! I know that my dog would love and appreciate something like this. Best of all, sewing is not required!
This is such a cute idea! I know that my pups would definitely love it.
Awww it came out so cute. I will share this with my bestie she fosters dogs and I am sure this would come in handy.
Now, this is too cute. Thank you for sharing, I’m sure pet owners will get a kick out of this craft. – yolonda
My yorkie usually sleeps on an old throw pillow unless he is curled up next to someone. At night he sleeps in the bed with my son. I wish he could sleep in our bed but that is something that my hubby won’t allow.
What a brilliant idea. This looks so easy to make. I want to do this project for my fur babies.
Your pup looks so comfy on his pretty pillow! My little one would love this fun diy.
What a great idea! This looks so simple to make. I need to do this for my daughter when her dogs come over for a visit.
That is so cute! I need to make one of these for each of my guys. It looks so easy to do.
This is such a cute idea and totally great to bring along on the go! I appreciate how easily it can be customized too.
What a great idea! I’ll keep this in mind for our pup!
What a clever idea! I love DIY projects and I think this is one I could actually make!
The kids might like making heart shaped pillows for themselves too.
I love this dog bed pillow! Perfect for kids to make too, since there is no sewing.
