Now that the weather is warming up and the snow is finally melting Huck
can play outside again! I decided to celebrate by making him a bright
new toy to toss around out back.
All you need for this is a variety of scrap fabric -
I used 12 different kinds but you can use whatever you have
Start off by cutting the different fabric into strips about 1 - 2 inches
wide. I left the fabric long enough to tie the knots but we'll trim it
up later
Start by crossing two strips into a + shape. Tie the lower fabric into a knot around the upper fabric.
Next, add another piece a fabric and attach by tying a knot using the fabric directly below it.
Continue doing this until your fabric rope is as long and you want it.
Now we can trim up all of the strips so their about 2 inches long.
Now get outside and play!
I hope that your dog likes this as much as mine does!!
