In today's craft we are going to recycle socks and t-shirts to make a modern type dog toy.
Do you want to see how to do it?
Materials that we will need to make our dog toy
- Various socks
- Football jerseys
- Needle and thread
Hands on craft
- The first thing we are going to do the toy handle. For this we are going to use two long socks. We will turn them over and sew the ends of the socks together.
- After we will turn one of the socks and leave the other inside from the last batch. We will roll up the inner sock by sticking it to one end as if it were a trickle and we will wrap in the rest of the outer sock until obtain a cylinder of fabric that we will sew halfway, leaving the opening of the socks unstitched for later.
- We catch now several socks, we roll them into a ball and we put them inside another sock. I have put on 3 socks. We sew the end by tightening the socks well. And then we turn the sock over, leaving everything inside.
- Now let's go make strips of fabric, we will choose the seams of the shirts that are thicker and stronger. And with the rest of the shirt we can make several strips and braid them strong. We will go knotting them all around their central part until they are all together.
- We return to catch the ball of socks. We make several holes and put the knotted strips inside, whose ends we will remove through the holes and sew to prevent the strips from coming off.
- And now there is only join this part with the handle. To do this, we will first sew with the inner sock and then wrap everything with the outside and sew. To strengthen more and reinforce the union, we will take an elongated strip of the shirt and we will knot it with force until the strip is finished. At the end we will make a double knot.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
