Old Bedding, New Trick!

Ahh... the fateful "Blizzard of 2015" Ha!  I was home and decided if my husband had to snow blow I had to be productive.  So I started cleaning from the ground up, literally.  Started in the basement and worked my way up to the 2nd floor.  The hall closet.  The-Hall-Closet that I put off re-organizing because I never know what to do.  So I emptied everything out on the floor and went to town.  I had bins, so I organized everything to keep, toss, and donate.

For some reason A. I bought the said bedding I am about to show you and B. held on to it after I realized MAN - this is UGLY!  Anyways, I was torn between donate and toss.  It sat in the hall for about a week downstairs.  For some reason I was taking my donating of this bedding seriously.  Then I had that AH-ha moment.  The I can do something with that ugly bedding.  And, I did!

What you need to make the cutest dog bed ever:

One comforter (mine was a queen)
2 large shams (mine are the big square ones)

How to make a cute god bed out of old bedding you were gonna toss away:

Cut the bed spread in half on the vertical (Clearly my pup supervising)

 

Fold it into a square

Stuff it (put the cut side in the far side)

Seal it with no sew permanent tape

Seriously, the no sew tape is a life saver! 

And... Sofi has not left her bed yet.  Well except to go on the other one.  Cutting the comforter in half allowed me to make 2.  She's spoiled one for the living room and one for the upstairs.  

Wallah - the cutest dog bed, thats machine washable, didn't cost a penny and I didn't throw something into our already overfull landfills!
