A Cardboard Box And Old Fleece Blanket Will Make Something Very Snuggly For Someone Special!

CAT HAMMOCK

First you want to seal up your box well with packing tape or hot glue.

According to onegoodthingbyjillee:

Draw lines 2-3” from each edge of each of the 4 vertical sides of the box.

Cut along your traced lines with a box cutter or xacto knife to make a square opening in each of the 4 vertical sides.  (Basically 4 large windows.)

Then, cut a piece of fleece that measures the dimensions of the bottom of your box PLUS an extra 4” on each of the 4 sides. (Example: if the bottom of your box is 18” by 24”, you’ll want to cut a piece of fleece that measures a total of 26” by 32”).

Once the fleece is cut, cut a 4” slit into each of the 4 corners of the fleece.

Then, cut two small holes about two-thirds of the way up your box, one on each side of the corner. Then feed the two slits of each corner through the holes, and tie them into a secure knot.

You can also use another piece of fleece on the bottom of the box for a bunk bed effect.

Your cat will love the finished product!

Not sure why he’s not chilling on the top bunk…he’ll figure it out.

Have you also seen the doggy bed you can make with a tire or with a wine box?  Either one of those would be great for a cat, as well.

Have you ever made a bed for your pet?  We would love to see it.
