Instructions

    • 1

      Fold your fabric in half with the print side in. You will want to be looking at the underside of the fabric.

    • 2

      Draw the shape of the stuffed animal you would like to create on the fabric.

    • 3

      Pin the fabric sides together and cut out your shape.

    • 4

      Sew along the edge of your shape, leaving an opening of about three inches in one side of your stuffed animal.

    • 5

      Turn the shape rightside out.

    • 6

      Add decorative stitches to your stuffed animal as desired. Get creative with scrap fabrics to make eyeballs, spots, stripes and bows.

    • 7

      Stuff your dog toy with excess fabric. Do not use batting as it might negatively effect your dog's digestive system should he eat any of it.

    • 8

      Fold in the hole and sew it closed by hand or with a sewing machine.

    • 9

      Introduce your dog to his new toy. When he chews this one to bits, simply make him a new one with excess material!

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep all of your materials pet-friendly. Your toys will probably quickly find their way into your dog's mouth and you certainly do not want them to choke on any decorative items.
