Durable Dog Squeaky Bone Toy Your Dog Will Love

Okay, here we go! Let's talk about that dog squeaky bone toy I made.

So, it all started when I noticed my dog, Max, was getting bored with his usual chew toys. He needed something new, something exciting. And I thought, "Why not try making something myself?" I'd seen a few DIY dog toy ideas online, and the squeaky bone seemed like a winner.

First things first, I grabbed some materials. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, so I dug through my fabric scraps and found some durable-looking denim from an old pair of jeans. I also snagged some felt for the bone's details. Then, of course, the most important part: the squeaker! I ordered a bag of those little guys online – cheap and cheerful.

Next, I drew a simple bone shape on some paper. Nothing fancy, just a basic outline. I cut it out and used it as a template to cut two pieces of denim. Then, I cut out some smaller felt pieces for the details - a paw print, some dots, you know, to make it look a bit more interesting.

Now, the fun part: sewing! I pinned the felt details onto one of the denim pieces. I used a simple running stitch to attach them securely. I'm no expert sewer, so it's definitely a bit wonky, but hey, it's handmade! Then I placed the two denim pieces together, right sides facing in, and pinned them around the edges.

Before sewing the whole thing shut, I remembered the squeaker! I stuffed it inside, making sure it was in the middle of the bone so Max could easily find it. Then, I carefully sewed around the edge, leaving a small opening to stuff it with some filling. I used some old pillow stuffing I had lying around. I stuffed it nice and firm, so the bone would hold its shape.

Finally, I hand-stitched the opening closed. Again, not the prettiest job, but it's secure. I gave it a good once-over to make sure there were no loose threads or anything that Max could chew off and swallow.

The moment of truth! I gave the finished squeaky bone to Max. He sniffed it cautiously at first, then he squeezed it. SQUEAK! His eyes lit up! He started chewing on it immediately, making that squeaker sing. He loved it!

It’s been a week and the toy is still in one piece, which is a miracle considering Max's chewing power. Overall, making the dog squeaky bone toy was a fun little project. It wasn't perfect, but Max loved it, and that's all that matters! Plus, it was way cheaper than buying a fancy toy from the store. I might even make another one soon, maybe a different shape or with different fabrics. Who knows?
