Ваш интерьер весь дизайнерский, а стильных No cat houses for sale? No problem. We will tell you how to make a cute wooden bed for your pet in a couple of hours. Quite recently, we published a selection of the most original cat houses that can be bought in European online stores. Those who read our article about this probably noticed the rather high cost of such beautiful furniture for pets. Especially for those who adore their pets, but are not ready to shell out a tidy sum for designer accessories, we have prepared a special master class. In it, we will tell you how to make a charming wooden bed for your cat or dog with your own hands.
Materials:
- wooden box (preferably new);
- 4 small furniture legs or wooden holders for candles;
- Glue for wood;
- Gray stain;
- Paints for wood (white, gray or beige);
- Permanent marker.
First remove two sides of the box.wooden planks (or more, depending on the configuration of the box) using a hammer. Treat the surfaces of the box and wooden legs with stain. Apply it in one layer. Then leave for 10 minutes, after which wipe the product with a dry cloth or paper towel.
Now we use paint, firstdiluting it with water one to two, so as not to paint over the wood texture. Apply the solution in a thin layer. Before it dries, remove excess paint with a paper towel. To make the wood texture more visible, wipe the paint along the grain.
Next step:Legs need to be glued or screwed to the base of the box bed (depending on what kind of fittings you use). In our case, glue was used, since inverted wooden candle holders were used instead of standard furniture legs.
The main work is completed.And we can say that at this stage the decorative design of our pet bed is made in the style of "Provence". To enhance this impression, we suggest you to put a beautiful inscription in French on the product. You can do this using an online translator and a permanent marker. You can write the name of your pet or any other words and expressions.
To make the lettering look a little older, apply another thin layer of white paint over it. Don't forget to blot it with a towel.
Now place a matching pillow (or blanket) inside the box bed and invite your pet to try out the new sleeping place. We are sure that you will both be pleased with the result.
