This easy DIY shark toy is designed with your dog's playful instincts in mind. Dogs love the satisfying crinkle of a plastic water bottle, making this toy a great source of enrichment. The design provides a protective barrier between the bottle and your dog’s mouth, ensuring safer play. Once the bottle is worn out, simply replace it with a new one—making this toy far more reusable than typical squeak toys. For added versatility, you can remove the bottle anytime for a quiet, stuffless toy, perfect for when you need a little peace and quiet.
This toy also serves as a comfort item for puppies or dogs with separation anxiety. By stuffing it with socks or a small article of clothing that carries your scent, you can create a comforting cuddle companion for your pup.
This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY PDF Sewing Pattern or great for seasoned sewers wanting to use up fabric scraps. As with any dog toy, always supervise your dog during play to ensure their safety.

Suitable Fabrics:
I recommend using natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or hemp, and opting for heavier-weight fabrics like denim, twill, or canvas for durability. This project is perfect for using up old scraps from previous projects or repurposing an old pair of denim jeans. For the most durable toy, choose a heavy-weight, 100% cotton non-stretch denim.
Notions:
Thread: For durability against your pup's chewing, it’s recommended to use high-quality thread from well-trusted brands like Gütermann, Mettler, or Madeira. It is also better for your sewing machine. Polyester thread, in particular, is known for its strength and long-lasting durability.
Heavyweight needle: If you’re using denim or other heavyweight materials, be sure to use a matching heavyweight needle to handle the thicker fabric.
Optional:
Hook and Loop Tape: 3" (7.5cm) of 1" (2.5cm) wide or narrower of hook and loop tape (such as Velcro) can be added for extra security. It’s best to avoid adhesive-backed varieties, as they are not recommended for your dog or your sewing machine.
Point Turner: This optional tool will help you easily turn your project, especially in tight corners and curves. A chopstick can also work well as an alternative!
