25 Ideas For Crafty & Clever Dog Beds

Just like dogs themselves, dog beds come in all shapes and sizes, and they can be purchased on specialty sites or put together DIY-style using repurposed materials. Chihuahuas and poodles are small enough that their beds can be made out of suitcases, empty drawers and picnic baskets, while an old rain barrel or baby crib could be refashioned for the bigger boys and girls.

Check out the photos below for the most creative and absolutely adorable dog beds on the web, and let your imagination run wild!
