Dog Tuggie Toy

Dog Tuggie Toy from Recycled T-Shirt

Materials:

20 1 inch x 20 inch (2.5cm x 50cm) Recycled stretch knit 

from pants or tops in assorted colors.

This home made dog toy is perfect for tug of war games or fetch. It is so simple to make that even kids can put it together. It is a great project for fetes and fundraisers too.  You can use recycled stretch knit from old t-shirts or pants or if you like you can use new fabric.

Cut the fabric into 20 pieces that measure approx 1 inch x 20 inch (2.5cm x 50cm) for a large dog.  For smaller dogs reduce the length and quantity but not the 1 inch width.  
Lay your pieces together in 2 sections of 10. Twist the 2 sections together and tie a large knot at each end as shown in the picture. Your knot should be tight and secure.

There is no need for gluing or sewing.  
Alternatively you can plat your strands together or add extra knots depending on your dogs desire.

Photo Decorative Marbles

Photo Beads

Materials:

• Clear marbles (the ones with one flat side, can be found at any craft store) 
• Cardboard photo index cards 
• Clear Silicone or PVA (white)craft glue or modge podge.

These photo beads are a great way to use up the small photo index cards you receive with photo processing.

Cut a piece of cardboard or paper backing the size of your marble. Then glue your image onto the cardboard. Then Glue the marble to the top side of the picture so that you can still see the picture.  Let it dry.  When the glue dries you will be able to see the picture through the marble.  Then use these beads as magnets or jewelry pieces.  You can wire wrap them or adhere them to frames for some fun projects.
