This past holiday season on of Kelli’s gift projects were for a four legged family pal named Cody.  Cody is a dog, a cute dog, and each year he exchanges gifts with our parrot Boomer at the family Christmas party.

One of Cody’s gifts was a new dog toy.  What Cody doesn’t know is that it was 100% free to make.  Free!  Can’t beat that, right?

How to make a knotted dog toy from a t-shirt for free

1.  Find 2 old t-shirts in your closet, or buy 2 cheaply at a thrift store

2.  Cut the neckline, the bottom hem and the sleeves off

3.  Lay the 2 shirts on top of each other

4.  Roll them up and tie them in a tight knot

5.  Cut the ends into 1 to 1.5″ strips (you do not have to be precise, just cut away!)

There you have it – done!

Cody loved this dog toy, and the free braided dog toy out of a t-shirt we made him also.  (Check out the easy peasy steps for that free dog toy here).
