Make a cool pet cushion!


Your pet will love getting their paws on this cool cushion...

What you’ll need

  • Fleece fabric in two colours; the amount of fabric depends on the size of your pet
  • Ruler
  • Fabric scissors
  • Polyester pillow stuffing

How to do it...

1 Determine the dimensions your pillow needs to be to fit your pet, then add 20cm to the length and width. (This gives you extra fabric for fringe.)

2 Measure two colours of fleece to this size and align both pieces. To create the fringe, cut strips 10cm long by 2.5cm wide along all four sides of both pieces of fleece.

3 Cut out the squares of fabric at the corners. (If you like, cut extra fabric into fun shapes and sew them onto the fleece that will form the pillow’s top.) Tightly knot the top strips to the bottom strips on three sides of the pillow.

4 Stuff the pillow filling into the open side until the pillow is firm. Then tie the last side together.
