DIY Pet Bed & Minted.com Fabric Christine November 21, 2015 Accent Furniture, Before & After, Crafts, Furniture, Thrifty Finds Disclosure: This post contains sponsored links from Minted. I received a product in exchange for my honest review. Please see my full disclosure policy here. Another month and another cool contest over at The Fab Furniture Flippin’ Contest. This month we were challenged by our sponsor, Minted.com, with their “Take a Seat” theme using a few yards of their premium canvas fabric! Woot! You guys know Minted.com right? They are the geniuses behind all the beautiful stationery. Remember their custom Christmas cards I shared with you? Well, today I’m sharing their beautiful fabric! Minted is unstoppable. I ordered their Modern Math Fabric in both black and green. I was completely convinced that I wanted to use green and black in my design but, of course, I had no idea what I was going to do with it when it arrived. This is just my creative way I guess. Several days after I received my fabric I was roaming the aisles of my neighborhood Goodwill and I spotted this cute black table thingy. Seriously, what the heck is this? Maybe it’s a lego table? When I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted it to become. Yep, a pet bed! So let’s recap. Minted was going to send me awesome fabric to use in a project and I decided to make a pet bed. Guess what this means? Many, many, many photos of my little girls! Any excuse to write a whole post featuring my little furbabies is just plain awesome. 🙂 Let me break it down for you. I essentially just pulled out some foam from my crafty stash and cut it to fit the inset area of the black table. After I cut the foam, I laid it on top of my black cross fabric and then cut the fabric allowing for 1-2″ around the foam. I decided to make my little kitty cushion two-sided, so I cut another piece of fabric but this time I used the green crosses. Before I began to sew the kitty cushion, I went ahead and ran the iron over the fabric to get rid of the wrinkles. Then I placed both pieces of fabric on top of the other with the pattern facing inside. Then I started to sew. This was a group effort. Who knew that every single aspect of this project would require their “assistance”. Cats are so irritating curious. 🙂 Here is the new double-sided Modern Math Minted.com Fabric Pet Bed. It’s so cute and can I just tell you that my littlest one has been sleeping in her new bed for the last hour.
