DIY to-do list (part 1)

Lately I've been wanting to get our pup some toys. She's a pit bull mix and has VERY strong jaws so every toy we've gotten her she rips to shreds. My Aunt, who also is a pit bull owner, suggested that we just get her toys from the dollar store so we're not spending a boat load of money when she'll just destroy them in a heartbeat.

I DID ONE BETTER! 

Ryan recently ripped a large whole in a pair of jeans. So before he threw them out, I got an idea!

I'm sure I could have just patched the hole but I'm also sure it would not have been "pretty"
I cut the legs which allowed for four ropes
I then, cut each leg strip into three smaller strips. I tried to make them as even to each other as possible.
Knotted them at one end
I braided the strips and knotted the other end. TADA!! Nala now has four NEW toys! (Only three are pictured because...)
Well you can guess...

SHE LOVES THEM!


Checked off my "to-do list!"

  1. Great Idea Nicole! I am sure they didn't last too long, but what a good way to use up something you would have thrown away.
