Hi Karla,
No problem! I sewed velcro on the ends so that they velcro shut, and I put a dog bed insert inside. It’s pretty easy – hope this is helpful!

Hi. I just wondered how did you attach the Velcro to the burlap sack? Glue or stitch. If glue is it strong enough to not come unglued when u open the Velcro. Also what did you stuff it with?
Thanks
Hi Julia, I stitched it. And I used a dog bed insert from my supplier, as I own a dog bed company. But you could fill with a bag of polyfill from the craft store!

What a great way to reuse and recycle. Burlap is timeless so your dog bed will never go out of style.
Did you wash the coffee bag before use?
Hi Faith, sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. They do shrink a little in the wash, and do not put it in the dryer! I learned that the hard way.
Hi, Where do you find these burlap bags? Thank you!
Hi, I got them at my local coffee roaster. You may be able to find some on ebay or Etsy!
