DIY Recycled Dog Bed - No Sew

[@mindydanaher9265]

Goodwill has an amazing selection of baby blankets, some looked brand new. It’s for a dog, it doesn’t care

[@MM-pw3wb]

You could also sew three sides if you have a machine and use you great tying idea for the opening side for washing etc. thanks!

[@jocelyncerezo6422]

This is such a Great idea Thank you! I just hope that my dog will not chew this one. I will have a deep talk with my dog so she wont chew it.

[@DIYwithTanya]

I could see that happening!! Hope your talk works! :)

[@stephanies5686]

Awesome thank you for this simple and affordable idea! I think it's really cute that your animals all love napping together ❤🤗

[@parism2938]

Love this idea.😀 Being that my dog decided to tear open/apart every bed she’s ever had,I wanted an inexpensive preferably recycled option.. This is perfect! 🙂Thanks for sharing!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad you like it!!

[@shantricest.julian2751]

Awww...good use of old pillows!!! Awesome video.. Beautiful dog!!!!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Thanks!!

[@carolcentracchio9187]

I made my blankets like this without the pillows. Nice and soft with the fleece. Love it

[@DIYwithTanya]

Sounds so cozy!!!

[@carolynglanzman5409]

Thank you so much for this. I can't sew at all but wanted to make something - a bed and or blanket that I can donate to animal rescue groups. I cant wait to get started!

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Carolyn Glanzman Thank you for caring about your local animal rescues! Fiona was a rescue!

[@gingerjennybean]

this is exactly what i have been looking for! so easy and inexpensive. i am surprised though that no one has commented on your dog...she is so beautiful.

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad you found what you were looking for! And thank you! She was my foster baby and I had to adopt her!

[@Spilululily]

Such a good idea!!! I’m going to make one for my big 70lb puppy and 2 kitties. Thank you!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Awesome!!! Hope they love it!

[@saiprameka5071]

I liked this so much. My exams went over and I just looked forward for doing some dIY for my dog this really helped me a lot😇😇

[@DIYwithTanya]

That's awesome! Hope your exams went well!

[@abbyturner710]

I love it!! I totally ruined my dogs bed yesterday so this will be something fun to do!!

[@emilydempsey4662]

thanks- my dog rips up stuffed dog beds but also loves them. I can't wait to make it!

[@cassielynn08cf]

i was googling on how to make a dog bed, and your video popped up! thank you! this is a whole lot cheaper than paying for a small $20 dog bed. i cant wait to get started!!

[@DIYwithTanya]

I'm so glad that you found this helpful!! Hope you have fun making your own!!

[@donnataylor8845]

Thanks for this idea Tanya....my Molly will be needing a new bed soon and this will be just the best for her....TFS

[@DIYwithTanya]

+donna taylor Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks!

[@adaliiii502]

Thank you i made one to it was pink and my dogs love it so i helps with the winter so they wont die in the cold

[@kawaiipotato3206]

Nice tutorial I'm going to do this in my Wal-Mart we have dog paw printed on fleece so I will get that one

[@prasadarigela684]

Wow super nicebed for dogs

[@velocityritchey7468]

That is a amazing idea I love the bed and I think I might make a dog bed like that for my dog one day!

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Velocity Ritchey Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nobodyxxx6404]

I meke 2 beds for my 2 dogs and they love it . so easy and inexpensive !thank you! this is great!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Nora Botterman That's awesome! So glad you were able to make them!

[@santysoetrisno]

Such a great idea! Thanks so much!

[@reginafilangey6784]

My ant got my dog a present and it was a dog bed. He's still a puppy though, so he chewed that to shreds. He's better about the chewing now, so this should be good! Thanks! You are so cool and deserve more dollowers! You just got one more

[@DIYwithTanya]

Zari Richardson Thank you so much!! Hope your puppy enjoys!

[@reginafilangey6784]

DIYwithTanya thanx!

[@motivate4change1]

Awesome idea!!! Here is an idea I put together in my mind after seeing your video and someone else's..use eggshell crate material as the cushioning instead of pillows, and instead of cutting the material in fringes (and having to tie it off) all the way around, simply use fabric glue to glue together 2 sides of it, and leave only ONE side free to cut and tie...makes it less time consuming to create and less time consuming to remove for washing!!! But, I wouldnt have had my idea without seeing yours first, so thank u!!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad you found it helpful! Your ideas sounds great!

[@subhashini8531]

Wow this is so nice but it take more time and patience to do . U are such great worker😍

[@Jubes26]

Thankyou! I have a very large dog. No beds fit him. This is perfect!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Jubes26 Yay! Glad to hear it!!

[@mlnags2829]

Wonderful idea!!!Suggestion to cut the excess from only one side. You will a wider strip top and side and can make a no run neck scarf with the left over material.

[@DIYwithTanya]

+ML Nags Great idea!

[@laurajose779]

You can lay both blankets together then you only cut once.

[@kimberleerivera7062]

Thank you for sharing this! Precious doggie - Fiona! :)

[@DIYwithTanya]

Thank you!!!! Hope your pup loves the bed!!

[@sjefwillems5471]

thank you! this is great! im kinda in hard times now,and my whippet will not lay down on the floor(he's the king of the house ;) ) so im gonna try this make him a comfy soft bed.

[@DIYwithTanya]

sjef willems Hope you have fun making it!

[@lorim9304]

Great video! I like how you didn’t cut a square on the ends.. I see so many people saying to cut a square.. and I often wondered why? And what would happens if you didn’t.. your bed looks just like there’s... I can’t wait to try this!!

[@Divineluvtranquility]

Thats awesome and much better then sewing! Thank you for this video, going to make one tonight! Also love the teal colors u did.

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Dayna Gestewitz Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

[@scruffysmustache]

thanks for the idea 💡! I'm definitely gonna make these for my dog!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Would love to see it when it's done!!

[@angelasworld5571]

+DIYwithTanya yes I love

[@amyramirez1346]

Thank you so much😌 i made one for my dog and she loved it

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Amy Ramirez Glad she loved it!!

[@alliqx7843]

Great tutorial!! I love this idea beacause,it’s cheap strong and convenient for quarantine!

[@daniela_graca]

Fantastic idea! I think I'm going to try it. I'll have to make two big ones because we have two beautiful german shepherd dogs. :)

[@AR2025]

I got the courage to try and make this for my puppy and for my first try I'm very pleased I wish it was like yours but j tried I will attempt to make another soon thanks so much for the upload

[@DIYwithTanya]

Hope your puppy loves it!

[@DIYwithTanya]

@freeangie11 You can spot clean the bed or you could untie one of the ends, remove the pillows and handwash the bed. If your ties are double knotted you could also untie one end and stick in the wash on gentle and just replace the pillows when the bed dries. I recommend air drying so that the bed doesn't shrink in the dryer. Hope these suggestions help!

[@bitterpulp]

thanks for the awesome dog bed idea. I have 2 rough collies male and female and they love being together. I wanted to get them a dog bed for christmas but there wasnt one big enough for the both of them to lay together. Because they both love to spread out taking up tons of room so i just layed a blanket on the floor for them but i wanted something more comfortable so im definetly gonna make this for my puppies:D have a great day:D

[@bitterpulp]

oh and also love the colors you used:)

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Bitter Pulp Glad you found this helpful!! Hope your dogs enjoy!!

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Bitter Pulp Thanks!

[@bitterpulp]

+DIYwithTanya your welcome:3 my dogs are excited:D

[@1Sweetness]

what do you do with the leftovers? I would make pillows for the dog and cats

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Tina Lynn Hi Tina. Great idea. I used my leftovers and I made braided rope toys for the dog!

[@uhtredofuhtred87]

Brilliant! Very very creative! I am definitely doing this! The only thing I’m going to do differently is, I’m going to hot glue the sides of the pillows together. Cause my dog will definitely bunch them up into a mess! Lol thank you for this idea! Just brilliant!

[@aliciaortiz4988]

right now im making one and also can you use blankets to put inside DIYwithTanya

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Alicia Ortiz Yes good idea!

[@agneskowalczyk6542]

[@DIYwithTanya]

Thank you!!

[@yyecee__4755]

i was just about to go shopping online for a dog bed but saw this video first.. thank you for this 😆

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@julianaagosto9319]

+DIYwithTanya I don't have any fleece,I only have a sheet.

[@DIYwithTanya]

A sheet would still work. You could also hand sew the edges if you don't want to fray them.

[@deeb5688]

thank you, thank you, thank you, for this idea

[@davidarrand4501]

Thank you so much Tanya for making this video. You have helped me a lot! I plan on making a large pillow bed for my big dog, very soon. She is going to love it! :-) Sincerely, Mrs. Arrand

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad it helped you!!

[@byMattehh]

Nice tutorial....but personally...I think the pillows should be sewn together so their not moving around under the fleece. :)

[@juliannawatson7279]

+Matt Valentine I was thinking the same thing because once the dogs or cats start laying on it the pillows will shift! That would be an uncomfortable bed to lay on if that happened!

[@DIYwithTanya]

+Julianna watson +matt Valentine Good idea! Although the cat does seem to love the small dip! It's her favorite spot!

[@angiel3114]

Matt Valentine I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@raegray6137]

I was thinking the same thing....that and I bet her fingers hurt after all those ties!

I tried this with a blanket and it totally worked

[@hayleypaigereviews6744]

softball lover yea I made a blanket for my mum doing this and she loves it! I did this 6 years ago tho

[@deeb5688]

thanks for the video, really cute idea, I think my dog and puppies would love the fleece, I don''t know if the puppy sharp nails would get stuck in the fleece, this is my first time with puppies. oh and love the teal, so pretty.

[@DIYwithTanya]

Thank you! I haven't had any puppies here in a while but my cats use the bed too and they don't have any problems with their nails.

[@deeb5688]

@@DIYwithTanya I think they would be fine as I noticed the little nails get stuck in towels, so I don't use them anymore I think fleece or a comforter works for now, I'll have to go to JoAnns to buy some fleece, yeah! I think that will work, thanks!! i have faux fur and they love sleeping on it, it's similar.

[@spir5102]

That is such a great idea. I love the idea of recycling old pillows. How would you wash something like that?

[@DIYwithTanya]

Hi Cindy. I would spot clean small messes. For a deep clean untie one end, remove the pillows and then re-tie shut. Make sure the knots are tight or they can come undone. Gentle wash and air dry so that the material doesnt shrink. Hope this helps.

[@spir5102]

@@DIYwithTanya thanks for your response. That makes sense.yes and I think it's a good idea to wash the fabric before you even make the cover. Thanks again and best wishes.

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

This is a great idea. A dog might not tear/rip up this bed, because it will smell like you. You could also use a long piece of quilt batting to cover the tops of the pillows so that the animal doesn't lay directly on the seams.

[@bethjones3412]

I love this idea, but I wonder if the pillows will shift out of place when you move it from place to place. I would probably tack down the pillows together.

[@DIYwithTanya]

Yes that is a good idea.

[@lunatie2730]

This is great, my Bear is getting bigger (6 months) I was just wandering how do you wash this? Maybe i should take out the pillows and wash them separately ?

[@DIYwithTanya]

You could spot clean or you could untie one end of the outer cover, remove the pillows and handwash the cover. I would wash the pillows separately.

[@lindseyliang9523]

You can wash fleece in the washing machine too but I would take apart and wash them seperately so the pillow dries better.

[@jackiepalacios9767]

I love love love this dog bed idea i am definitely gonna try to do it but i just have one question do you knot the flaps on the side?

[@DIYwithTanya]

Jackie Palacios Thanks! I did knot the flaps on the sides! Good luck on making yours!

[@michaelbubbles100]

I'm going to try this but maybe put protectant pillow cases on the pillows and velcro one end to be able to take off and wash. Thanks 😊

[@DIYwithTanya]

Hope your baby loves it!

[@veganvocalist4782]

Ok that's beautiful 🤩💛

[@MegKampen]

Very nice! The ties are very pretty but it looks like a lot of work. I am just going to buy a 10 dollar fleece blanket that matches my living room and sew it. I'll stuff it with the sleeping bag my dog is already sleeping on. Just getting ideas.The dog beds are so expensive. A 40 dollar one falls apart. A good one costs 100 bucks or more.

[@DIYwithTanya]

Great idea!

I'm going to be fostering dogs and I have wash their bedding after each assignment. Are your pillows washable?

[@DIYwithTanya]

They are all washable. I would double knot all of the knots around the bed or they will come undone in the washer. Thank you for fostering!!

[@dawnmihelis7493]

This is really helpful! My dog rips up every bed we get her, and this is a lot cheaper!!!

[@DIYwithTanya]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@loriknoell9432]

I think it would be easier to use memory foam, just buy them extra large if need be (such as a queen) buy a few of them and then cut and layer for added fluff. Anytime I take the cover off of the $80 + dog beds I buy for my dogs so that I can wash them, I find it was simply a piece of memory foam with a cover. Nothing more. What's worse is it is only one layer of memory foam. You could do more if you wanted.

[@DIYwithTanya]

Lori Knoell Great suggestion!

[@loriknoell9432]

If we did the memory foam, we could cut a slit in the bottom of the cover and then put velcro there to close it back up, so we could take the cover off when we want to wash it because I'm not sure memory foam can be washed.

[@nadyachacon199]

[@kellyncognac3090]

I have a question, could you just throw the whole bed in the washing machine or should you take it apart before washing it?

You could but it may unravel in the washer/dryer.

Hi Tanya ! my dog Riley needs new bed soon but the problem is she gets mud and hair all over her dog bed so i have to by her a new bed every month any tips ?

[@DIYwithTanya]

+XxbetadayyXx If you are good with sewing you can create a rectangular bed with pillow inserts. You would sew shut 3 sides of the bed and make one side with a zipper so you can remove the pillows and stick the outer part into the washer.
