A few years ago I made a unique pet bed for my dog, Nacho. You might remember my suitcase pet bed, seen HERE. We added a sweet female puppy, who we named Xena, to our home, and I had to make her a special bed, too. I grabbed an old wicker basket that I had lying around and repurposed it into a sweet princess puppy bed. Since I know she will outgrow this quickly I used remnants and thrifted items to make a no sew princess puppy bed in under an hour.

What you need to make this project

Materials: Poly-Fil Batting; Poly-Fil Fiber; Foam Pad

Instructions

Step One

Paint the fabric with Ultra Dye in the desired color. This dye is specially made for fabric, wicker, and similar surfaces and quickly provides bright, bold color. It only took one application to create this brilliant hue!
