Look what I made from scraps! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I dont know if I was clear in the directions. You have to stack the 3 pieces together and cut them at the same time. If you try to cut them separately and then stack them, you get a twisted stretched out mess. Good luck!

That's great and it's made in America. Cute GE idea.

if you use more strips or longer strips will it become fuller?

That is an awesome idea! I am going to try to make some as soon as I find some free time! I have extra fleece, and was wondering what to do with it!

Thanks for sharing the idea!!

sabsab00 · 10-02-2007, 07:34 AM

Ooh what a cool idea - they look like alot of fun!

yorkiesmiles · 10-02-2007, 12:24 PM

Cute idea. I had been thinking about making something out of the fleece scaps. Actually I was going to try a braided tug toy - I saw something along that line when I was searching for toys made in America.

Thanks for the directions for the balls.

In the past, I have found fleece scraps made great toys for the cats. - of course for them the longer the better.

MIZBROWN · 10-02-2007, 12:25 PM

Too cool - very creative

YORKIEMOM2B2006 · 10-02-2007, 01:41 PM

those are really cute. i made somethin out of my scraps but i took 3 pieces about 2 foot long maybe more, and braided them and knotted them 5" from the ends, they love those. they whip them all over the place and play tug of war with them lol
Ill try makin a ball next time i have extra fleece

thanks for the idea

Yorkiedaze · 10-02-2007, 02:00 PM

That's one made in China toy that doesn't get bought! YEA!!!

Even though mine won't play with toys, I'm going to make some just to give to people I know with small dogs.
