Super Simple Fabric Bone Dog Toy

Want a quick and easy project that results in a toy for your furry friend?

Let’s face it, our little buddies shred fabric dog toys so we want to avoid spending too much money buying toys and avoid spending too much time making toys. Here is a quick and easy project. It will probably take about ten to fifteen minutes to make because of hand sewing the opening shut and it will take about the same amount of time for the dog to destroy it.

Download free PDF pattern. Or just draw a rough bone shape. That’s what I did for the pattern in the PDG.  When printing it be sure to uncheck the Fit Image box or it will slightly distort pattern. Then again, it doesn’t hurt anything. Don’t spend a lot of time fussing. Trust me, when you watch Fido destroy the toy in ten minutes you will be glad you did not spend an hour trying to get pattern to print out exactly spot on.

(Trying to get PDF to work but it's complicated. For now use image below and I will post PDF file when I can.)

Image is available as download option on Facebook page.

I cut out pattern with 1/4" extra from line for seam allowance. You can cut right on the line or add 1/2" extra room outside the line. The only difference it makes is slightly in size, depending on style of fabric. I used some scrap piled furry fleece here.

Cut out two pieces of fake fur, fleece, or your fabric choice. Sew around shape, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing. How much stuffing you use depends on how much you want to pick up off the floor later.

Turn, stuff, and whip-stitch opening closed.

There you have it, a quick and easy dog toy!

Here's pattern in image form. You should be able to right-click and copy to print. I will work on getting PDF download available when possible.
