Create your own very simple kitty bed by repurposing an old coat hanger and t-shirt! diy-cat-tent

Not only does this make a fantastic kitty bed, it makes a great ferret play house too! We love any project that repurposes items that might otherwise get tossed out, like old stained t-shirts, wire hangers or cardboard- in this case, the project uses all 3 of those things!

You’ll Need:
15″x15″ piece of Cardboard
Medium to Large T-shirt
2 wire hangers
Tape
4 safety pins.

Straighten the coat hangers, Snip them to push the ends through the cardboard in an X shape, bend over about a 1″ piece, then tape it to secure it.

Then slip the t-shirt over the frame, secure it underneath using safety pins. Add a small pillow, old folded towel or other soft layer inside for bedding (such as a piece of blanket, etc).

Still unsure of how to make yours, watch this simple video!

👩‍🍳 About the Author

Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
