Make Dog Toys Out of Old Socks

Holes may not matter when you use old socks to make dog toys!

Learn how to make your own dog toy such as the Sock Ball and a variation, the Sock Swing Ball, in just a few minutes.

The Sock Ball is best used for playing fetch, indoors or out.

The Sock Swing Ball can be used for fetch, tug-of-war, or as an attachment to that marvelous indoor/outdoor toy and exercise device, The Whipwhir (pronounced "whipper").

WARNING: Please supervise if your dog chews on these! Little bits of sock can cause choking or digestive problems.

These are not the only ideas for making dog toys out of old socks. We also have contributions by visitors to our site. Here is a comment from one of them:

My puppy likes the sock swing ball by Anonymous

"Well I have made one before and it’s awesome for your dog or cat. Cat not so much lol. I made it with 2 balls or 3 and 2 big socks so it would lock the balls in place." (Photo at left is the puppy.)

SOCK BALL

This takes about 5 minutes and you will need 3 or 4 holey socks
Use your longest sock with the smallest holes for the base
Roll and stuff the other socks inside
Tie a firm knot in the base sock above the stuffed area
Double the end of the base sock back over the entire ball
Tie a knot above the stuffed area again
Repeat Step 5 until you cannot tie a knot any more
Cut the end of the sock just above the last knot

Note: Sock balls can be washed and dried along with other dog items
