Pet Bed

One bed earns credit for 2 hours of volunteer time.

You Need:

•             New or clean used bath towel (BATH TOWEL ONLY)

•             Batting from fabric shop the thicker the happier

•             Needle and Thread, sewing machine would be good

•             Odd yarn

Directions:

Fold the towel in half width wise. Sew up the outside edges. Cut the batting to fit the inside of the towel and insert. Sew the opening closed. Now take pieces of yarn and stitch through the entire towel and batting and tie off. Place the yarn tie-downs evenly on the pet bed. This helps the batting not to shift and bunch when being washed. You have a great easy-clean-pet bed. The homeless cats and dogs do like these.
