7. Suitcase Bed

Here is a DIY pet project that I have been meaning to do for so long. Unfortunately, I have four cats and it would be just a tad messy to have suitcases lying around our flat. If your place is bigger than mine or you have only one or two cats, you might want to give this handmade pet bed idea a go.
