DIY Dog Toys - From Old T-Shirts - Upcycle

Dogs are part of the family and also love receiving toys for Christmas, birthdays or just because.  But they can also get expensive.  So if your dog tires easily of expensive ones, why not try the homemade dog toy route?

This short video should get you inspired if you were not sure where to start.  Simply gather some old t-shirts that are beyond being donated, and upcycle them into these super cute dog gift ideas.


Dollar Tree Weekly Ad

The dollar tree can be your best friend when it comes to getting creative.  You can get packs of tennis balls there and even some t-shirts if you simply don't have any to donate to the project.  (wash well in hot water first)

All you need is your t-shirts, tennis ball and a sharp pair of scissors.  Mixing the colors of shirts makes them look colorful.  This is such a cool way to get you inspired to clean out the closet or drawers of your old cotton tees.  To make room for more of course!

Dog Gift Ideas

If you have friends with dogs, then make a few of these toys to give as gifts.   Make sure and wash old t-shirts in hot soapy water first, even your old ones to make them fresh for their chewing pleasure.

This is a lot of fun, and you can get the family involved.  Just create a space on the table and get cutting and braiding.  Hopefully this inspires you to have a clean out and let your dog benefit!
