Turn an old, unused suitcase into a stylish pet bed. This repurposing project gives an item of sentimental or vintage value a second life as a cozy, decorative bed for cats or small dogs.

Find an old suitcase, preferably one with a hard case and some character, such as a vintage design. Open the suitcase and remove the lid (optional) if it takes up too much space.

Line the bottom of the suitcase with a soft cushion or pillow that fits snugly; you can use an old pillow or customize the fabric to match your home decor. Optionally, add four small legs to the bottom of the suitcase using screws and a drill to elevate the bed slightly off the floor.

Decorate or paint the outside for an additional personal touch. This pet bed is perfect for creating a cozy, vintage-inspired space for your pet while keeping your home eco-friendly.
