We all have old bed pillows that have seen better days, clumpy and worn out. These would make great beds for your dogs or cats, I made one for my dog and he loves it, and knows it is his! No more pushing them off your good furniture. Paint right on the pillow case to add a special touch. 

You can either use a store bought pillow case or make one of your own. I made my own. Here is how to make your own:

Measure all sides of the pillow and add 1/2 inch to one end and both sides for seams, and on the other end allow 2 inches to fold back to make a much bigger seam as seen on regular pillow cases. You can use your own pillow case as a guide.

Now, to add that special touch....Using acrylic craft paint, paint your pet's name and add paw prints all around the edges. Insert a piece of cardboard inside the pillow case to keep the paint from going through to the other side. Use your imagination...when finished let dry. When your pet gets it too dirty, just remove the case from the pillow and throw it in the washer and dryer. This would be a great project to do with your kids, and your pet will love you for it.
