Decorative Dog Bed

Decorative Dog Furniture Bed
I wanted to post an old project of mine. Sorry for the limited pictures! I wanted to make a more asthetically pleasing bed for my dog, and I also wanted to direct him to something other than the sofa. He liked being high enough to look around the room and see out the window so this was my solution!

Materials

  • 3'x3' foam, 4" deep
  • 3'x3' 1" thick plywood
  • 1x6" lumber cut into (2) 37.5" lengths and (3) 36" lengths
  • Four Legs and appropriate fasteners for these

  • Staple Gun
  • Nail Gun
  • Fabric
  • Batting

Steps

  1. Mark two inches from the bottom on the four pieces of 1x6 lumber
  2. Use the 1x6's to form a box around the plywood square, nailing the plywood at the 2" line you drew. 
  3. Put the two 36" boards on opposite sides and then the 37.5" boards on the remaining two sides, nailing all the corners together
  4. Attach the legs to the bottom corners of the plywood square
  5. Now the frame is complete!

  1. For the upholstered portion first wrap the 1x6's in batting and secure in place with staples
  2. Take a long strip of fabric and wrap it around the outside of the frame and then  fold the fabric over the top of the frame and staple it on the inside.
  3. Then, turning the entire project over stretch the fabric to the underside and staple it there
  4. Finally, I was lazy and just wrapped the fabric around my cushion and safety pinned it in place. Then squashed the pillow into the frame.

Mostly dogs like Calming Dog Bed which is made of super soft fur and filled with pp cotton and other material.
