Use a macrame-type braid to construct a sturdy, eco-friendly dog toy. Crafter Faith Hale demonstrates this simple-yet-satisfying technique, and you can use purchased T-shirt yarn or yarn that you’ve made out of a T-shirt that has outlived its use as a garment. The toy shown is excellent for small-to-medium sized dogs but Faith instructs how to make simple swaps for a custom size
Learn how to:
Here’s what you’ll need:
- For two-color toy, 60 feet each of two colors of t-shirt yarn such as Hooked Zpagetti or Wool and the Gang Jersey Be Good.
- For six-color toy, two strands each of six colors that are five feet long
- Scissors
- To make your own T-shirt yarn, watch Faith’s Make T-shirt Yarn Class

Wonderful idea for my dog. I bought one like this at a craft show, my dog uses so much it is coming apart, so now I can make him another.
