- how to make a pet bed with rope and yarn. Sew a pet bed
How to make a rope pet bed. NO knitting NO crocheting DIY inexpensive pet bed. Here is a cheap and very easy pet bed simply made from rope and recycled wool. Or you can keep it flat and make any size rug you like. Or make it smaller, build it up, add handles and turn it into a basket. I had a lot of recycled wool from a sweater I was given. I bought some cheap rope and made my cat a super bed with it. I want to thank my sister Sandra for showing me how to do this. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Really cool! I’ve seen a lot of rope bowls and baskets sewn on a machine. I have never seen the rope hand stitched with yarn before. So pretty.
That's great !! Ty Allison. 💝
I love how thorough you are in teaching these techniques. Thank you!
Your welcome, come join my craft group on Facebook if you haven't already and she me what you make. All crafters are welcome. The group is called Craftytwunts
I really like the idea as a basket, I would probably use it as a project basket.
Yes, I think so too, as a big wool basket to keep under my table as I have lots of odd balls of wool.
Beauty! This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks! ⚘
your welcome I have a plan to make a rug the same way
I love this. I remember learning to do this technique in high school art class. I believe I still have a needle and some rope. I can use my scrap yarn to make two doggy beds for a friend. Take an old pillow make pillow cover to stuff inside.This is such a great idea. thanks.
I made one for my puppy last year but he began to eat it. I need to make a new one now he is a bit older I need a specific size to fit an area in my craft room for him to sleep while I craft. Cats love them though and you can wash them too.
Beautiful, fun, great idea. Thank you for the video.
Your welcome xx
Love it! I have 4 cats so I'd better get busy! Just a matter of getting the rope, I have enough yarn on hand. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
These are fab and you can throw them in the washing machine too.
I would never have thought of that thanks for sharing amazing xxx
Try the rope that is already bright and colourful, then you only need a contrasting wool to bind it together. You can make baskets and all sorts with it.
I love this!! What a great idea. Thank you!
I have a new puppy he is 11 weeks old. His name is "Muttley" he is a silver dapple dachshund. When he is older I will make him a bed. Not just now as he just chews everything ha ha ha
Love your accent, pet bed is fantastic. Very inventive.👏😇😻
Thank you, Sarah
It's very nice idea u r so creative, thank you for sharing this lovely video
Thank you. If you keep it flat you can make a rug. Thank you for watching.
What a fantastic video and I'm definitely going to try this xx
Thank you. I'm making a basket now.
Well I woke up earlier than usual so very glad I learn from you a Fabulous Craft not a craft person normally but even I am going to do this.. Thank You very much for teaching me this Kathy 😊
Kathleen, if you leave out the gap you can make baskets too. As soon as you begin this project you WILL BE a crafty person so welcome to the crafting world xx You can make them square too.
Excellent idea Alison, thank you so much for sharing. It is so refreshing to see someone demonstrating craft ideas that are affordable, need no fancy equipment and above all seem that anyone could have a go at :o)
This is why I started doing tutorials. I believe for most crafts a cheaper solution can be found or made. So everyone can have a go.
If you buy the rope that is fancy you won't need to wind wool all around it. So this equalises the extra cost of better rope. You can tie them up with string too but a ball of wool is only around £1 Thank you for watching I appreciate it xx
Love this. Easy and useful.
And so versatile. It is even easier if you buy the rope that is already fancy and just use a corresponding shade off wool to sew it together. I bought red and black stripe stuff which is thicker too I am going to make a tall basket for all my odd balls of wool. It will only have cost me £6 and my time. I may do a video to show how it turns out.
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
Thanks! That's really cute!
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea and for sharing!! I will try this for my cats. :)
My cat loves his although I made it a bit small
Awesome idea thank you for your tutorial!!!!great tutorial
thank you for watching. If you want a put rug just keep going around flat until it is the size you need If you want an igloo type keep working up to hight you want then start working it to the inside of the last row so it will start to curve into the middle.
So very cute my twin-sister and husband have a kitty and this I will love to make for Tara,again thank-you kindly for these wonderful idea's
That is wonderful yes, the kitty will love it. You can extend it right up and over like a hooded top
Love it, super cute!!!!
Thank you, I should have made it a tiny bit wider. He can curl up in it but his legs dangle over the edge when he stretches out hahahah
Hi Alison, I really like your accent and the cat bed is beautiful!
Thank you, I made a different one for my puppy.
I started to make this rope/wool cat bed in my spare time. It's taking me longer then I thought but I'm determined to finish it for my cat. Great video & wonderful idea Alison. 🍪pocket.
keepat it you will be so proud once you finish it.
This is awesome thank you! I think this technique would make an awesome rug too
Yes, it will. That will be my next project after my wool basket ha ha ha
Great video!!😊
Simple, but very effective technique for making all sorts of fun items, and without it costing an arm and a leg. Perfect.👌
Very easy to follow your instructions and I absolutely LOVE the overall effect created by the wool you used... the colours are really beautiful.💖
I shall definitely be having a go at this myself, probably starting with making a plant pot (sitting the plant in it’s original plastic pot inside the one I make).
Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. I shall look forward to watching your other videos soon. Best wishes. x
Even easier if you buy rope already covered. I have all sorts of colours now.
That is a good idea. ty
Thank you for watching I appreciate it. I hope you watch my other tutorials xx
Just watched your video and my partner liked it so much that she suggested that I try to make the bed for our cat. she thought of extending it high enough to make a peak with a handle.. like a pet carrier.
If you dont keep the rows to the edge it will start to go in like an igloo. In one of the other comments the lady said hers was going in towards the middle but she was just going to make it into igloo type bed. Great idea about the handle I never thought of that.
That's very nice, gonna give it a try Thank you.
I recently bought rope that was already covered, so no need to cover it in wool. so I am going to make another cat bed as I need a different shape to fit atop my sofa where my cat has now decided to sleep.
This is an awesome idea. Love your accent. xxxx
Thank you I am going to make a square one next then a bin to put all my odd balls of wool in.
i like that pet bed i hope you come out with more your so cool i will try this hope my turns out as nice as yours
I have a new puppy so I do hope to make more pet orientated tutorials.
Hiya I just wanted to say thanks for the video tutorial as I bought this rope to do a crochet basket project but it was too hard on my hands but if I do it half my way then yours it will be so much easier as I can crochet over the rope first then sew it up! I look forward to your future tutorials take care xxx
I bought red rope that is already covered and all I have to do is the sewing part. I have a new puppy. I will make him a wee bed soon.
This is a wonderful idea for a pet. I made a small basket with this technic, you can add pretty designs by laying the string in wave-lines for example. But your idea made me think about making one for my dog :D Thank you!
Thanks for the tip too as I have 2 big hanks of thicker rope that already has a lovely covering. I think it is emergency tow rope hahaha but it will be my laundry basket and enough for a wool basket too. So the wave lines is a great tip for me. I do hope you subscribe to my channel and spread the word on my channel to others. Thank you.
Hi that's bed looks good going give it go for my dogs xxx
Thank you.
Love it. so cute.
Thank you, You can continue up and make this like a cave
Awesome! I have 2 small dogs. They might like that.
I really love your videos I learn so much more than all the other videos out there. Thank you💕💕
Thank you so much Dianne
I'm so glad I found your channel. This is one of the best craft ideas I've seen. I purchased so much yarn years ago with the hopes of making blanket via crocheting but I could just never get the hang of it. I'm glad I didn't get rid of the yarn. Now I can make some beds for my kitty's and pup that are not only pretty but comfortable too. (I have purchased so many beds that loose all their shape after washing. Can't wait to get started! Thank you so much. Definitely liked and subscribed.♡
If you have lots of yarn try this. These are easy and fun and will have you addicted to making them th-cam.com/play/PLrDyWXz56tb4balVw2neugCiBPLwTbQjI.html Here is the link to make your own loom frame for the blankets. th-cam.com/play/PLrDyWXz56tb41XxScpZHvhmIpgmQwpCVE.html
Alison Russell's Craft Channel Thank you Alison! I watched your video on weaving blankets before I watched this video. I thought it was really genius how you made weaving sticks out of markers. I'll be sure to check the links you posted. Have a wonderful day. Looking forward to learning more from you. I love hearing your accent. Irish or Scottish? ♡
Hi. This looks great , I am going to try this myself . I hope I can do half as good as you . Xx
Mary, Yes you will. I am going to make myself a basket nest for all my odd balls of wool if I have any left after making the basket hahah.
Love this :-)
Thank you
only found your channel a few days ago and you are a girl after my own heart, love to savemoney on crafts , if I can make it instead of buying it I will. It really is so expensive.
This is even better because I found fancy rope still cheap so no need to wind wool around it. The one I found has a coating over it. I just need to find a contrasting wool to over sew them together.
OK. I'm fascinated by your comment during the video- YOU CAN RIP BACK A WOOLLY JUMPER? Is that only homemade ones please? Can you turn a bought high St or even a charity shop jumper bk into a ball of yarn? If so this opens up a whole new world. Pls pls let us know Allison. ❤️❤️❤️
th-cam.com/video/scWK8UUHUJk/w-d-xo.html. Yes you can rip out high street ones and also ones in charity shops I have ripped back many many PerUna cardigans and jumpers as I love the cotton stuff they make them with. In the USA its called Frogging because you rip it, rip it, rip it, out (sounds like ribbit from a frog) here in the UK we boring and just call it ripping it out.
I will try this for my puppy thank you.
Thank you for watching xx
Love the video, you give such great details that are very easy to follow. Had no issues hearing you on my ipad. Can’t wait to make several for a No Kill Cat / Kitten Shelter I support. 🌺. (I’m subscribed 😊)
Thank you so much, Miss Kitty xx
Wow. I just browsed you videos and I amazed! I'm subscribed. You're crafty Love the cat too 😽
Thank you very much I appreciate it xx
Great idea as usual Alison, well done :)
I have to give this on to my son for his dachshund pup Rosie, as my cat can't stretch out in it. So I have to make a slightly bigger one.
Very good idea but it will drive me insane.. Nevertheless, I may try it when I am calm and stress free. Thanks for sharing.
you can buy rope that is already covered. then you just need to do the sewing part. I have just bought red rope with black stripes hahah
Thanks for the tip. Would you let me know please, where do you buy the rope already covered which won't drive me insane? haha
You should make more DIY pet beds!!!
I need to start a square one Marj the cat doesn't like this one he is fussy, But my daughters cat loves it.
Oh, and I adore your accent!
Hahhaha my cat will say exact words... So cute..
Mine won't sleep in it now as he can't stretch out he sleeps on top of the sofa so I am going to make another with red rope that already coverd so I just have to do a contrasting wool to sew it together.
I would like to see it, please do make a video. Thanks
Love this! Will try to make one for my guinea pigs ;) Love from Denmark
This is good looks hard
No, it is very easy honestly. Just wind the wool or material around the rope and over sew them together like I show you. I said the same thing to my sister sandra and she said give it a go you will see it's easy.
To figure out how much yarn you have used, weigh the finished object, then weigh the unused spool of rope, and finally subtract the difference in weights; the resulting difference is how much yarn was used.
Great video I'm thinking about making a basket for my kitties, perhaps big enough for my dogs because the dogs are jealous green beans. LOL :p
fab idea, this time I bought rope that is already covered and I will use a contrasting yarn to sew it together. I have a new puppy but I think he will chew it so I may have to wait a few months.
Beautiful. I used this technique to make a fabric bowl using strips of 1" fabric and clothesline rope. Turned out very nice.
Your audio is kinda tough to hear in places. It sounds very muffled. It gets better when you move closer to the camera sovim not sure if you can correct it. I missed some of the directions because of it but was familiar enough with the technique to understand. Just thought you'd like to know.
So how did your kitty like the bed? Not sure my dog would stay in it. He likes to be right by my side. Crazy pup.
Yes, He loved it but I made it a bit too small for him to stretch out in so he went back to sleeping on his pom pom banket and now my pom pom rug. Why don't you try my rug tutorial maybe your fur baby will like to sleep on that. My sister made hers the same way as you did with material but I can't sew hahah. I now have a separate microphone I finally made enough on my channel to go buy a mike so hopefully, that will be better.
Recycled fabric scraps wrapped around the rope is a great way to use up scraps as well.
Yes, Wendy, my sister does this with fabric scraps. She makes all sort with it.
awesome subscribed ur channel
Thank you very much I appreciate it xx
Alison Russell's Craft Channel feel free to visit my channel when ever TH-cam r free, as a small youtuber need all ur support😘
I have and I love the channel teaser I need to do that.
I love your channel I am now a subscriber I love your tutorials xx
I think sewing the rope together in concentric circles or ovals is more enjoyable and easier. This is interesting, but seems very tedious to me. Thank you/
It is well worth the effort this way you get exactly the bad size you need for your individual pet.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel, thank you. That’s a good point.
What if you crochet around the rope first then stitched it into a cat bed or basket
You could do. That will be a good thing for those who have issues winding the wool around. And it would be mighty fancy too. Wooo I like that idea xx Thank you for sharing it.
First!!!
? I don't understand.
This person is just excited about being the first person to comment on your video. It's a pretty common comment on youtube. Love the basket, planning to make it for my cats! Would there be a way to give it a closed top, or would that be too ambitious for a first try?
you said you got the wool from a sweater you were given. did you unravel the sweater? do you have any videos on spinning wool or deriving wool from clothes? thanks!
th-cam.com/video/scWK8UUHUJk/w-d-xo.html This is how I did it very easy I just unpicked the seam careful not to cut the body of the clothing and ripped it out from the top to the bottom. I need to make a better video as this one had a crochet edge I had to remove first but the principle is the same for any hand made or even shop bought woolen garments the one in this video was a shop bought cardigan. Just to show these can be unpicked too.
wonderful!! thank you so much.
I love your channel! I do wish you would talk louder. I don't hear that well and your voice sounds so far away from the mike. I do appreciate the captions though. Thanks so much!
I hope I have sorted this with a new stronger webcam
Lastima no entiendo el idioma xque es muy bello lo que esta haciendo
todavía puede resolverlo a partir de las imágenes, también hay subtítulos que puede activar en la configuración debajo del video.
you know if you don't leave the opening you use it as a basket. it would super cute basket
Yes I am making a tall square one for my odd balls of wool.
Great idea but I just wouldn't have the patience to do all that winding the wool round the rope. I don't know how you found the time with all your other lovely crafts you do.
It was much quicker than you would think. Xx I enjoyed making this.
do you have any other dog related crafts for beds, etc.
I am working on it. I have a new puppy his name is Muttley he is 12 weeks old now he is a mini silver dapple dachshund. Full of beans and mischief.
Made a cat bed - I need more practice as the sides are gradually getting smaller looking like an igloo. I still like it but unfortunately my cat doesnt. Looks like I may have a craft basket. :)
You need to keep the next row to the outer edge. But in saying that an igloo one sounds great for a kitten I put a fluffy off cut from a fleece blanket into mine for my cay Marj. He stopped sleeping in it when he couldn't stretch out so I gave it to my daughter for her cat he loves it.
You are from which country
Scotland
I'm from india
How about closing the top for cats?
Just keep adding to it to make it higher then work your way in the same way you worked it wider. Better still I think I will do a tutorial on an enclosed hood one. I'm off on holiday I might do it then to keep me busy hahahaah
You are sweety ...
Thank yo, so are you for watching I do hope you sbscribe
It's nice, but too much work for me.
Ohhh Noooooo why don't you buy the rope that is already covered then all you need to do it sew it together. I have just got some red and black striped rope so all I need to do is sew it. I'm going to make a hooded bed for my friend's cat.
It wasn’t beautiful idea, but your recording was hard to understand because of reverberating echo on you recording.
Thank you for watching I appreciate it. xx

Alison, you audio is too weak. It is hard to hear all you say. Love yr accent.
I am in a very large room when I film. I have tried other cameras and even a separate microphone. It may be time to go to a class or something as the audio is my biggest issue. It could even possibly be that I am almost deaf ( truly I wear 2 hearing aids all the time ) I try to get someone else to listen to them before I publish but since my son moved out it is harder because no one is here all the time to do this for me. I will keep working on it though.
Your video was fine. You even added subtitles for everything. People can hit pause if they need to review or reread. ♡
Can't hear you well. It's also kinda gurgley
I now have a new mic so hopefully, that will help.
