The next time you feel like purging your closet, consider making a DIY t-shirt rope toy for your pup! This project takes about five minutes, repurposes old clothes, and gives your dog a new, exciting gift without breaking your wallet.

And it turns out that cutting up old shirts is really, really gratifying.

Making a DIY t-shirt rope toy

Here’s what you’ll need:

Fabric scissors work best, but your dog is not going to care how cleanly you cut the shirts up.

Step 1: Cut the t-shirts

Cut your t-shirts into either 9 or 12 strips– enough to braid the toy with 3 or 4 strips in each strand.

Try to keep them narrow enough to knot up at either end of the toy.

Step 2: Braid the strips

Braid the strips together in groups of three or four (depending on how many t-shirts you use) and knot them up at either end.
