Most have you have met Rye, our Labrador Retriever. I learned really quick with labs that they shed REALLY bad. I have tried numerous pillows and crate pads, but his hair would not ever come out when washed. I found some pads that would be a better fit for Rye, but they were expensive. Making something yourself usually saves you money, so I created a easy, DIY crate (kennel) pad. It is a perfect project for a beginner sewer and it only takes around 30 - 45 minutes.
What you need:
* Foam Pad ( already had from camp)
* 1 yard 60 wide Nylon waterproof material (or how much you need for your size kennel)
*velcro
Foam Pad found at Walmart or craft stores
First I measured by kennel and marked the measurements on the foam pad with a Sharpie.
Then I cut the foam ........ if you want the pad thicker, just double the pad and cut two pieces.
Nylon (flag) material I found at Joanne's Fabrics
Lay your pad on the material and cut to fit, with extra for seam allowance.
Then sew seams closed. (see arrows below)
I used adhesive Velcro I had on hand. After putting on, I sewed over to secure.
Put at the end of pouch so that you can close the crate pad cover. Insert your foam pad just like a pillow.
Here is the finished project! Took me 30 minutes!
Rye loves it.....and I love how easy it is to clean!

ReplyDeleteThough they are large and strong dogs, they are not heavily built. Large dogs can be intimidating to small children, however yellow Labradors are not dangerous and they do make good family pets. Since they are large they require space to run around and play. They are very playful and really enjoy playing with their owners. labrador stuff
