About this deal
an old tire ( just visit Discount Tire; they’d be happy to find an old tire for you and have you recycle it!)
The guys at the Discount Tire store I went to were super helpful! I told them what I had planned for the tire and they made sure to find one with really good tread to make the outside more interesting after it was painted! With this project, you’ll make a large pillowcase for a comfy, canine-friendly mattress. Instead of investing in expensive craft foam, this artsy pet parent bought one twin extra-large memory foam mattress topper and folded it in half. Some people think that chevrons are serious but this tessellation of pastel-colored chevrons rimmed by periwinkle is cute, sweet, and fun. As your dog gets older, you'll need to make some changes to your home and routine to keep them feeling their best. That includes changing their dog food, too! If you put a leopard print sheet on this boldly upholstered bed, it would look a lot like Austin Powers’ revolving bed.
A simple wooden crate, recycled or available at any craft store, also makes a perfect pint-sized nest. Carefully pry the boards from one of the long sides off of the crate and sand the rough edges. Paint the crate and personalize it with your dog's name or a fun design, and line it with a soft folded blanket or pillow. HGTV Handmade also recommends screwing furniture gliders onto the bottom corners to protect your floors. Just like anything you give to your dog, make sure the paint, decorations, and lining are non-toxic to pets and not easily chewed or ingested. While retail sales have helped sustain his efforts, the majority of Silva Filho’s creations have gone to animals in need. This sweet little Yorkie looks like she’s the center of the sweetest bon bon of them all! Unfortunately, doggies can’t have chocolate. Fosse and Gershwin might have names that are Broadway-inspired but their bed looks more like Southwestern Native inspired.
To prepare each tire, he cleans them, cuts off the tops with a jigsaw, covers the hole at the bottom with plywood, and then sews his own cushions to make them cozy. He paints and stencils each one with bright colors. Amarildo Silva Filho, Caminhas Pets/ Facebook This looks more like a temporary sitting space than a place to bed for the night, regardless of what the little owls would have you think.
