Things You'll Need
- Old pair of jeans
- Scissors
- Needle and thread or sewing machine
- 3/4-inch Velcro or duct tape
- Measuring tape
Instructions
Measure around your dog's ankle. Add an inch. Cut the Velcro strip to this length.
Lay out your pair of old jeans. For a medium-sized, 50 pound dog, measure out a rectangle, 7 inches by 5 inches, starting at the seam of the jean leg. Mark with a pen. When cutting, make sure you're cutting two layers of fabric.
Turn your rectangle inside out, and sew up the two long sides. Now you have a pocket, which will be your shoe. Turn right-side out again.
Sew your Velcro strip around the open top section of the shoe.
Try it on your dog, making sure to fasten the Velcro tightly enough to keep the shoe on, but not so tightly that he loses circulation in his foot. Go outdoors and try it out!
