Cat Bed From Recycled Material

My cat has never had a proper bed in my house and I wanted to make him one. He has a cat tree which has a bed on the top, but he has outgrown it and also needed a new one anyway.

- cardboard box

- old towels

- pillow

- staple gun and staples

- utility knife

- ruler

- pencil

- something to use as support for stapling

Gather everything you need and go to an open space so you have space to work.

Measure each side at several places between 6 and 7 inches, as desired, from the bottom of the box and mark. This will be where the box gets folded down to reinforce the sides.

Connect the dots from the previous step. This will insure that the fold is straight.

Cut open the corners of the box from the top down to the measured line. Then score the box along the measured line.

Fold in the sides of the box along the scored line.

Secured the towels, using a staple gun, around all sides of the box to create padding.

Add a pillow and some more padding as necessary.

Place your pet’s favorite blanket on top and secure it to the bottom of the box using the staple gun.
