Now, of course you would only use your scrap fabric for chew toys for your sweet puppies after you have spent 3 hours salvaging every 6 X 6 inch square you could for quilting. Not that I quilt, but my step mother does and I plan on sending them to her.
Anyways, making the chew toys is easy. I originally made mine out of flannel because those were the scraps I had, but flannel is not ideal because the fabric shreds pretty easily. The ideal fabric to use is fleece and I picked some up this weekend. To make the chew toy, simply cut 3-4 fleece strips 25" X 1" in length and width (for small dogs, longer for bigger dogs), tie a knot in one end, braid the strips, and tie with another knot. As you can see, my sweet girls love them!
In other news, I am linking up my etsy shop for Marketplace Mondays over at Finding Fabulous! Stop over and have a look at all of the incredible stores on etsy, all selling either handmade or vintage goods! If you have not shopped on etsy before, you are really missing out!
