You don’t need to worry about your kitten pouncing on your yarn or otherwise trying to “help” your crafting efforts. With pet-friendly projects, your fur baby just might find a new appreciation for your art. From crafting a pet portrait on canvas to DIY-ing pet-friendly home décor and storage units, every pet lover can spend some time trying DIY crafts and creating a better home for your pet.
Pet-proof your home.
Whether your dog has taken to chewing on your mattress or your cat is constantly knocking over your new plant, take some time to make your home a little more pet-friendly and save your more valuable appliances along the way. For things you want to keep out of reach but accessible, consider using a self-storage unit. Spend some time reviewing a size guide for storage units to find the right storage unit size for your needs. With those valuable in a storage unit, Spot will stay safer—and so will your stuff, no matter how much space (or how few square feet) you need. If a storage unit is not in your budget, try some DIY organization solutions for belongings that aren’t so pet-friendly and optimize your new storage space.
Make your typical pet products more appealing.
No one wants to spend their “me time” looking at a litter box—but a fashionable litter station or kitty closet can make it more bearable. Improve your pet’s mealtime posture with an elevated platform for their food and water dish, or label them with your favorite acrylic paint to differentiate between animals. If you can never find the leash before heading out on a walk, an eye-catching hook or entryway station can save you stress. DIY projects are a great way to personalize pet products with a touch of style, making your home feel more fashionable while staying pet-friendly along the way.
