Super Easy Do-it-Youself Dog Toys

[Scootergirl]

I've been making these super-easy dog toys for the craft show. The dogs LOVE them! and they are cheap and easy to make (so if they destroy them quickly, you only spent pennies making them!). All you need is a little fleece, a small piece of cardboard and a pair of scissors.

You can use scap pieces of fleece you have lying around or check the remnants at Wal-Mart or your local fabric store.

Here's the link to how to make them:

Here are some pictures of some of the ones I've made so far


and this is another bed I made - new sewing required!! It was really easy, too!

Those are awesome toys and beds.

VERY VERY COOL!!!   Those blankies look awesome. 

Dogs so love fleece too.  I've taken strips of fleece and braided them to make pull toys before.  something about fleece makes a dog want to lick and chew and it's really durable.  WALMART is great for cheap fabric.  too bad some of the stores are getting rid of their fabric stores when they upgrade to the superstores.

Cute. How did you make the bed with no sewing?

I used these directions for the bed:

except I used a foam insert. You can buy them in sheets at Wal-Mart, the craft store or your fabric store and cut them down to the size you want.
