DIY Doughnut Sock Toy for Dogs

Tore a hole in one of your socks? Don’t throw them away–make this super quick, super simple dog doughnut toy instead.

As most pawrents already know, some dogs have an unhealthy obsession with socks. The dirtier, the better: if your pooch gets a chance to raid your laundry hamper, the nasty little bugger will probably do it. But, as it is usually the case with dogs, they do it out of love, the four-legged weirdos.

So, next time you have a pair of socks that’s for the bin, go the recycling route and make something fun for your pooch. These doughnut sock toys are extremely easy to make, cost nothing, and your dog is going to love them- trust me, I barely had the time to snap the picture of the toy before it was snatched.

Oh, and just a little heads up before you start this DIY project- make sure you use clean socks. Your pooch might prefer if you don’t, but, hey, no thumbs, no opinion about crafts!

What You’ll Need

    *I used fluffy winter socks and a pair of knee-length socks for this tutorial, so one sock equaled one doughnut. In case of regular length socks or thin socks, you’ll need a pair of them for one doughnut.
