Make Your Own Water Bottle Dog Toy

Our pets love to get gifts, especially toys and treats.  You can make your own water bottle dog toy with Kunin Felt and a sewing machine.  The only other supply you need is an empty plastic bottle.  This water bottle dog toy is a great project for beginning on the sewing machine!  I love it because it doesn’t take very long so lots of water bottle dog toy treats can be made in one project sitting.  Easy sew pet projects are the best!  This post is sponsored by Kunin Felt but the ideas are my own.

To create a water bottle dog toy you will need the following supplies and tools.

• Kunin Felt in a Variety of Colors (Rainbow If You Want to Make a Rainbow and White for Clouds)
• Rotary Cutter and Cutting Pad
• Sewing Machine
• Water Bottle

Cut 7 felt pieces that measure 2 x 12 inches for the body of your dog toy. Cut a dozen 3/4 x 12 inch strips for the fringe of your easy sew dog toy.

Sew the seven wide strips together.

Pin the thin strips into looks along ends.

Sew the loops into place.

Fold your dog toy in half so the seams are showing and sew it into a tube then flip it right side out.

Insert the water bottle (empty with NO lid)!

Cut two felt strips to tie the ends closed.
