How to Make Dog Toys
From Fabric Scraps
How to make dog toys from scraps! If my dog doesnt have a toy, she helps herself to my shoes, my bags or whatever she finds. Thats why every week I need to get her a new one. Every time I give her one, she breaks it in a couple of days and I have to buy another one.
Not wanting to spend another $10 dollars, I decided to make my own dog toy using my scrap sack. Its amazing what a few scraps can do with a little creativity.
This toy only took about 15 minutes to make, and my dog is delighted. She wanted to pull it away from me when I was stuffing it and she wouldnt even let me take the pictures. It has become her favorite. I guess the knots and the sturdy filling make it really appealing! My dog spends hours chewing on them.
When this one is done with, I can just find more scraps and sew a new one. I chose resistant fabrics so it lasts a while. Theyre easy to make, but I dont want to be making one every 2 or three days. This one should last her at least a week.
