DIY Holiday Gifts for Your Dog Series: The No-Sew Bed
Nothing’s sweeter than watching a very cozy dog sleeping in their bed. And, you don’t have to be particularly crafty to make one. For today’s fun project in our DIY Holiday Gifts for Your Dog series, learn how to create a no-sew bed. How lovely to know that your hands made the warm and safe spot your pup loves to lie in. And, using clothing scraps or fabric that have your smell is an added bonus!
Vicki Rae Thorne, master herbalist and founder of Earth Heart, which is bringing us this wonderful DIY Holiday Gift series, says our own body’s scent can work like aromatherapy for our dogs. How cool! Her talented son, Griffin Thorne, drew the charming illustration above.
Features editor, Sarah Dickerson of the adorable site, Pretty Fluffy, has a great no-sew tutorial here, complete with cute videos, pics and links to recommended supplies.
A holiday tip: I’m a big user and fan of Earth Heart products. My favorites are Canine Calm, which relieves anxiety and nervousness in dogs, and Travel Calm, which helped us so much in alleviating Jasper’s car sickness on our recent getaway.
Canine Calm is very handy to have around during the holidays, when the noise, house guests and general hoopla can make the calmest dog nervous.
