How to: Make a jumper bed

If you have an old jumper lying around and your dog has outgrown his current bed, you can make a quick bed out of a jumper and a rolled up towel.

It’s easy peasy.

1. Turn the jumper inside out and round off the bottom of the jumper. You may need to bring the arms together to measure how much you need to cut off the bottom. Sew the cut bottom edges closed.
2. Turn the jumper right side out. Position the arms along the bottom edge of the jumper and stitch the bottom edge of each arm to the base of the jumper.
   

   Attach arms to base, and ends of arms together

3. Stitch the ends of the two arms together.
4. Roll up an old towel and stuff the arms with it to make a raised edge to the bed.
   

   Stuff with a rolled up towel and you're done

5. Put your dog in its new bed. If you’re dog is like Fez, he’ll jump in by himself before you’re even done…

To wash, just remove the towel and chuck it all into the washing machine.

You can also stuff an old cushion, pillow, or folded up blanket into the jumper for an extra cushy bed.
