22 DIY Ideas For Recycling Old Sweaters

21 Sweater Pet Bed

21. Sweater Pet Bed: We’ve got a new puppy named Dizzy calling our apartment home, and were in need of a snuggly, pet-specific place for her to hang out and snooze. We’re also on a budget (and obedience school wasn’t cheap), so we didn’t want to spend a lot of money. So we hit the thrift stores for some wool sweaters, dug an old pillow out of the linen closet, and stitched together a colorful patchwork bed for her. If you’ve got basic sewings skills and an afternoon to spare, you too can make your four-legged friend the happiest dog or cat on the block. (via Apartment Therapy)
