From Suitcase to Pet Bed

savvyhousekeeping reuse recycle old suitcase to pet cat dog bed

I always like the old suitcases I see in thrift stores, but they aren’t practical for today’s traveling needs. Well, here’s a great way to re-use them–turn them into a pet bed.

The idea comes from this Etsy site, Vintage Renaissance, where you can buy a pet bed just like the above for $70. It looks like they split the suitcase in half, glued stool legs to them (you can buy the legs in a hardware/craft store or take apart an old stool), and put a nice fluffy pillow inside for your cat or dog. What a great way to recycle.
