Log some serious snuggle time even when you're not there. With this easy DIY upcycing project, you dog or cat will feel like you're hugging them all night long. Here's how to upcycle an old sweater and some pillows into a cute dog bed or cat bed.

This super simple project requires a large eye wool needle, some yarn for sewing with, an old sweater that your dog or cat would love to snuggle up to (smells like you) and one or two old pillows (depending on the size of your sweater and thickness of your old pillows). Oh, and a very basic (and we mean basic) understanding of hand stitching.

In this example, we show you how to take a medium men's sweater, stitch it and stuff it (with two flat pillows) to make a comfy & cozy bed for Gepetto, our favourite lap dog. Ever since he got this bed, he's curled up in it every night and has the sweetest dreams!

Did you convert one of your favourite old sweaters into a bed for your favourite pet? We'd love to hear about it in the comments below or over on tuja wellness. If you love this upcycled dog bed, be sure to give us a treat (aka like) and share the love.
