Steps

Prepare the TV
Begin by ensuring the TV is unplugged and all electronic components are removed. This may involve removing screws and cutting wires. Ensure the casing is empty and free of sharp edges.
Sand and Paint
Sand down any rough edges on the TV to make it smooth. You may then paint the exterior to match your decor or leave it as is for a vintage look.
Install the Base
Cut a piece of plywood to fit the bottom of the TV interior. Secure it with screws or wood glue to create a stable base for the bedding.
Add Bedding
Place a cushion, pillow, or blanket inside the TV to serve as the bedding. Make sure it fits snugly and provides ample comfort for your pet.
Final Touches
Add any final decorative touches such as soft toys or additional paint designs. Ensure every part of the bed is secure and safe for your pet to use.
