DIY Cat House, DIY Dog House + More Chewy Box Craft Ideas

Challenge Level 2: TV Pet Bed

This project turns an ordinary Chewy box into a TV buff’s dream come true. If you love binge-watching your favorite shows, you’ll love Paw TV, where your kitty or pooch is always the star. This channel is all the rage with pets, too.

Materials: Chewy box (pick a size that fits your pet), scissors or box cutter, markers, super comfy dog bed or scratchers (that fits inside the box easily), packing tape

Optional Materials: Wand toys for antennae

Step 1: Place your Chewy box right side up. Cut off all of the short flaps and tape up the top.

Step 2: On one of the longer sides, measure 3 inches in from each corner and make a mark.

Step 3: Take a ruler and connect the marks so that you have a rectangular shape. Cut this shape out of the Chewy box to create your screen.

Step 4: On one of the short ends, cut out an archway or square that your pet could fit through.

Step 5: Use the markers to draw knobs and a speaker on the front (to the left or right of the screen) for a vintage feel.

Step 6: Place a cozy crate mat or dog bed inside.

Step 7: For extra flair, add antennae. On the top of the box, make two holes in the center about 3 inches apart, along the back edge. Put a long wand toy through each hole, and angle them outward like antennae. Tape down the wands onto the inside back wall of the box to keep them in place.
