Vintage Suitcase Upcycled into Pet Bed 2

Supplies:
  • Vintage suitcase (freecycle.org, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Craigslist, ReStore)
  • standard bed pillow
  • fabric
  • hot glue gun
  • drill
  • paint
  • 4 "bun" feet from thrift store, ebay or off of discarded sofa or ottoman
  • stick - almost the length of suitcase
Step 1: Pull out all lining
Step 2: Paint suitcase if needed
Step 3: Drill 4 holes in bottom and attach bun feet
Step 4: Hot glue fabric into top and bottom (under the pillow will not be seen but you need to cover any
