Simple handmade toys that your dog will love (11–20)
Donut toy made from socks
Some people want to make toys but aren’t good at sewing, right? For those folks, I recommend trying a donut toy made from a sock.
It has just the right level of difficulty, so it’s perfect for learning sewing basics.
First, prepare an old sock and cut off the toe.
Then roll it up into a ring, and once it looks like a donut, thread it with string.
There’s only one place you need to sew, so it’s reassuring for beginners.
By the way, depending on the sock’s pattern, you can make a donut toy in the style you like.
A toy made from an empty ice cream container
If you don’t want to sew or craft but still want to make an educational toy, using an empty ice cream container is perfect.
You often see ice cream sold in fruit-shaped containers, right? Just save that container, put some treats inside, and you’re done.
When your dog rolls the toy around, the lid will eventually come off and the treats will fall out.
Even dogs that don’t like exercise will enjoy this.
One note of caution: be sure to wash and rinse the container thoroughly.
Felt Heart Rope
When it comes to classic dog toys, chew ropes are a staple.
The problem is they wear out quickly, which can make toy costs add up.
That’s why I recommend making your own chew rope out of felt.
Felt is great for nose work, and best of all, it keeps costs down.
Once you learn the braiding method, it’s easy to remake whenever needed.
Check out YouTube or websites for detailed tutorials on how to braid them.
It’s also fun to show some personality by choosing different felt colors.
Shaka-shaka cushion
Dogs love crinkly toys, don’t they? But crinkly toys are often easy to break because they’re meant for chewing.
That’s why I want to introduce a crinkly cushion you can easily make yourself.
All you need are fabric and a plastic bag.
First, cut two circular pieces of fabric.
Then sew them together with the plastic bag inside, and you’re done.
If it breaks, you can quickly make a new one.
Plus, the materials are inexpensive, which is easy on your budget.
Chewy Jerk
Kamikami Jerk lets you satisfy the urge to chew while getting some exercise.
Amazingly, you can make it using only materials from a 100-yen shop! First, prepare two circular pieces of wood.
Drill a hole in each and connect them with a wooden rod.
It will look like a dumbbell.
Then secure the parts so they won’t come apart, and you’re done.
Each time you chew, the Kamikami Jerk rolls, helping to reduce lack of exercise.
Plus, since it’s made entirely of wood, it has a warm, natural look.
