My dog, Cocoa, has a tendency to chew on laundry. Whether it's in a basket or on a person it's all chewing items to him! That's why I made this toy. I suppose the fabrics felt good in his mouth because they were firm enough to help but soft enough to not cut him (he's teething). So, with no further ado, let's get started!
You will need:
Scissors
3 strips of fabric (the fabrics don't have to be the same type or color or anything. Use your imagination to create a one of a kind toy)
 |
| I used two strips of fleece and a strip of a woven cottony sort of fabric. |
 |
| My fleece strips were narrower than my cotton one because of the thickness of the fabric. I cut the cotton one wider to make up for the lightness of the fabric weave. The fleece is about 3" wide while the cotton is 4" (looks like other measurements because the tape measure was bent). |
Tie the three strips together at the top leaving about two inches at the top. Braid down about one foot. Then tie off again. Cut the excess strip at the end to make the top and bottom even.

Tada! Now, my dog (and yours, as the case may be) can chew on fabric to his heart's content without getting into trouble.
