Craft Pet Beds from Old Towels

Gather Materials and Tools

Collect old towels and sewing supplies, including thread, scissors, and a needle.

Prepare the Towels

Cut the towels into squares or rectangles, ensuring they are of identical dimensions.

Layer the Towels

Stack the towel pieces to create a thick, cushioned base for the pet bed.

Sew the Layers Together

Using a needle and thread, sew around the edges of the layered towels, making sure to sew through all layers.

Create a Pillow Effect

Leave one side partially open, stuff the pet bed with additional towel pieces or soft fabric, then sew the opening closed.

Finish Up

Trim any excess thread and give the pet bed a final check to ensure all edges are securely sewn.
