Make a toy for your best friends!

Dog toys are so expensive right now and the money can be better spent in another budget area.  Here is a quick and easy dog toy you can make from a remnant of fabric and an empty plastic bottle.  My pups LOVE anything that makes noise and the bottle crinkle is a lot less irritating to your ears than those squeakers!  Toy can be re-filled/re-used and the bottle can be recycled after your dog has his fun!
 It cost me a little over $1 for the fabric....cheap, easy and quick! 



Will look something like this....


Items needed:  empty plastic water or soda bottle
                        Fleece remnant (other fabrics work but fleece is    stretchy and forgiving)

1:  Lay out fabric on table and measure width around bottle adding 1" extra for 1/2 inch seam

2:  Measure length of bottle and add an additional 6" (additional 3" for both top and bottom tassels)

3:  Cut fabric and sew side seam

4:  Turn right side out and sew bottom seam 3" from bottom edge of fabric
5:  Slide bottle into tube created and tie shut with additional length of fabric or string
6:  Cut tassels on bottom and top 3" every 1/2"
7: Done!

She LOVES it as you can see...........  : )
