- 6 Rubber bands
- Cut or rip fabric into three strips: 6 inches wide and 20 inches long.
- Tightly twist each individual strip and secure it on either end with a rubber band.
- Then tightly braid the pieces together
- Next tie knots on either end. Make sure the knots are very tight so it doesn't come undone.
- Now remove the rubber bands and you’re done.
dog craft tip: If you want to fringe the ends simply cut into strips. Your Miniature Schnauzer's gonna love playing tug with this dog toy!
Chew-n-TugBefore you throw that old garden hose away... cut about 6 inches of it and thread an old t-shirt through it (about 10 inches wide) . dog toy craft tip: You can use a rope, or any other material you like. Next, tie knots at the hose openings and at the ends of the fabric. And that's it! Another freebie!
SQUEAKYSchnauzers love squeaky toys and you can make them yourself! Supplies Needed: - Buy a bag of replacement squeakers (most pet & craft stores carry them)
- Poly-fil
- Fabric of your choice
Cut fabric into 2 circle shapes - 8 inches each. dog craft tip: You can cut squares or any other shape you wish. Sew the 2 pieces together (inside out), leaving a one to 2 inch opening. Turn the fabric right side out and begin stuffing it with the polyfil. Once it is half-filled, add a squeaker. Then continue stuffing until the desired thickness. Finish sewing the pieces together completely and........
Presto! A Squeaky Dog Toy! Another variation for this toy is to sew a few fabric pieces to hang or dangle from the main body - so your schnauzer can shake it. Miniature Schnauzers love that! And if you have any 'hair scrunchies' lying around , you can use them too. They work really well by giving a homemade toy a 'bungee' effect. Just cut the scrunchy in half. Sew one end to the main body and sew up or tie off at the other end.
Toss Ball-Tug RopeSupplies: - 1 hollow ball like a tennis ball)
- 10 inches of rope*
Drill or cut out a hole - from one side of the ball to the other. Thread your rope through both holes. Tie knots at both openings to hold the ball in place - and at the ends of rope - so it doesn't fray. * dog craft tip: A good rope to use when making dog toys is a kid's jump rope - and you can by them really cheap at the dollar store!
WOW! You're getting really good at this!
