An Easy DIY Gift for Pups!


If you're looking for a little treat for your pup for Christmas or maybe looking to wrap something up for the neighbor's cute dog this holiday season consider making this chew rope which is SUPER easy and cheap.

Supplies: scissors and fleece material
 

step one 
Cut 3 strips of your fleece to a desired length.  They by no means have to be perfect as you can see in the picture.
For small dogs, I suggest about an 1.5" wide, 9-12" long. Bigger for bigger dogs.

 

step two
Tie a knot in one end.

 

step three
Braid the rest and tie a knot to finish.

This is so easy and dogs love them, especially smaller ones like Bailey (miniature schnauzers).  Fleece is easy to come by on the cheap too.  I got this fleece at the thrift store in plain fabric form, but you might have an old worn out fleece blanket lying around you can upcycle or find one at the thrift store.  Fleece of some pattern is also usually always on sale at arts and crafts stores.
