11. Sew the ribbons securely by hand. Tip: Invisible thread makes for a clean design, but any thread may be used.
12. Cut the loose ends of the ribbons at a diagonal and dot the ends with FrayChek. Let dry.
13. Sew the pillow for the bed by sewing three sides together, then stuffing with polyfill. Hand stitch the open end closed. Tip: Get creative here, using a contrasting fabric. Consider attaching ribbons or buttons to the pillow, depending on whether your pet would chew them or not.
14. Assemble the pet bed by adding the foam cushion and pillow.
