DIY ball & tug dog toy
Supplies:
- 1 Old T-shirt
- 1 Tennis ball
- Scissors
Instructions:
Step 1: Snipping up your shirt
Lay your T-shirt on a flat surface, and mark off your cuts. You’ll want to make 2 pieces that are about 5-6 inches wide and a thinner strip about 2 inches wide.
Once you cut up your T-shirt, you’ll end up with 3 tube-like pieces. Simply snip each of them at one of the ends to make them into long straps.
Step 2: X marks the spot
Lay the 2 wide strips in the shape of an X, and place the tennis ball in the middle.
Step 3: Wrap it up
Wrap the ball with all layers, and gather the strips at the bottom of the ball.
Take your skinny strip, and tie a tight double knot to secure the fabric-wrapped ball. Now you should have four wide strips hanging from the base of your ball.
Step 4. Just a little more snipping
Take 1 of the 4 wide strips, and separate it from the rest. Cut this piece into 3 even sections.
Step 5: Braid that rope
- Braid the 3 newly cut strips until you get near the bottom, and then tie the ends with 1 of the strips.
- Snip the ends so they’re even.
- Then repeat steps 5 and 6 with the rest of the remaining strips of cloth.
