Grandma's Suitcase Becomes Stylish Dog Bed:

This is a simple, unique, and stylish way to upcycle an old and out of date suitcase. Simply find a great old suitcase, Goodwill or Craigslist is a great place to start. Go to your local hardware store and purchase 4 table legs that fit the style you're looking for, the table legs above keep with the vintage feel of the suitcase and compliment the shape. Chunky, sharp angled table legs will give this suitcase a more modern look.You can buy attachments for the table legs at the hardware store, you simply screw these into the bottom four corners of the suitcase. The table legs should attach easily and securely to the bottom. You can use either an old pillow, foam, or cotton stuffing for the support of the bed. Then get your favorite fabric in you're favorite color, to knock down the price of this kind of project, I often use discounted table cloths as my choice fabric. Begin to tuck it in around the sides of the suitcase and over your stuffing. Since some dogs like to "dig" when making themselves comfortable, I would hot glue the fabric to the sides of the suitcase, to avoid stuffing flying everywhere. Last, but not least, add accessories, the back of old suitcases often have a pocket, fill it with you dog's favorite toys. Now you have a unique and fantastic dog bed! Your dog will thank you! :)
