How to Make Pet Toys Out of T-shirts

Dogs need toys to distract them and help pass the time. They do not read books or magazines or participate in intellectual conversations. They chew on and play with toys. Toys that smell like their favorite person --- you --- are particularly attractive to some dogs. A chew toy from an old t-shirt offers many of these attributes in a low-cost package.

Instructions

    • 1

      Wear the t-shirt for a work out or chores where you will generate a sweat. The dog wants to be reminded of you when it plays with the toy made from the old shirt.

      Lay the shirt flat on a table and start at one edge rolling the cloth into as tight a bundle as possible. The resulting rolled shirt is as long as the t-shirt from the top to bottom and 2-3 inches in diameter.

      Tie simple knots in the rolled t-shirt. Tie at least two knots, one on each end, or additional knots in the middle.
