There are so many things we can do to pamper and spoil our dogs silly.
Sometimes, however, we forget that the greatest gift we can give our pets is a reminder of our love for them.
That's why the following DIY project is pretty spectacular. Like this DIYer who transformed her trailer into a dog carriage, we thought of utilizing materials we already had on hand to make something functional and unique.
Below, we take you through the steps of making a genius pillow for your dog that's shaped like a pair of legs.
Although this might sound strange at first, know that your dog will find incredible comfort in being able to sniff your scent and in feeling the "shape" of your body close by.

Let us know what you think of the final product in the comments below!
For this adorable DIY project, you'll need: a pair of cotton pajama pants, one big pillow, and polyester stuffing.
In order to stuff the pants without sewing, you'll first need to cap the leg ends of the pajama pants. To do this, cut tassels around the hem of each leg, each measuring around 3.5 inches.
Next, take two tassels, one from each side, and tie them together with a simple overhand knot. The last knot will be a little tight — but that's completely fine!
Keep on knotting until the pant legs are entirely sealed off. This is what they should look like when you're finished.
Next, begin stuffing the pants with the polyester stuffing.
Once you feel like you've stuffed a good amount and hit just a few inches below the kneecap, start folding the pillow in half.
Slowly ease the pillow into the opening, and move it around until it fits comfortably inside the pants.
And there you'll have it! Because the stuffing is so soft inside the fabric, you can easily bend the "legs" into a sitting position or fold them inward, like so.
Here's a little "before and after" shot of the pajama pants:
Smokey, LittleThings' adorable resident pug, sure loves the lap pillow!
Will you be making your own variation of the lap pillow?
