Make Dog Toys Out of Old Socks
Holes don't 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.

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********************
SOCK SWING BALL
- This also takes about 5 minutes and uses 3-4 socks
- Take 1 or 2 of your longest socks for the base
- Roll and stuff the two other socks inside
- Tie a knot in the base sock(s) above the stuffed area
