We want the best for our furry friends, but DIYs for dogs and cats are often the more affordable - and fun - choice. There are plenty of clever DIY pet projects you can try to enrich your pets' lives without breaking the bank.
Give your cat a front-row seat to all the action outside your window by building a simple DIY cat perch. Using wood and some basic carpentry skills, create a wall shelf to extend the width of the windowsill.
Add a cozy Sherpa layer or a custom foam pillow on top so your cat has a comfy place to enjoy the view.
If you have an awkwardly sized or unused wall nook under the stairs or elsewhere in your home, some simple upgrades can make it a comfy dog nook.
Don't have a built-in space? Create a nook by using an oversized end-table or crate-style shelving. Add a dog bed and some of your pooch's favorite toys for a cozy and inviting spot for them to relax.
Cats love nestling into small, cozy spaces, so what could be better than creating a comfortable hideaway with old T-shirts and other household items? Build a DIY tent for your cat by cutting and re-shaping metal hangers into arches and stretching a T-shirt or other fabric over the top.
Do you need a dedicated storage space for your dog's many toys? Use old pallet wood or simple wooden crates to make a special box for dog toys. Line the inside with fabric to prevent losing smaller items between the empty slats, and add a cute, custom name plate for the front.
There are plenty of pet crafts for simplifying and organizing your pet's food and drinking spot. Create a DIY food station for food and water bowls to better integrate them into the style of your home.
