super easy, and cute. Can be personalized with a name on the fabric ( I cut fabric letters and hot glue them on, if I do that)

First pick out your fleece, and cut out a design. For these I just drew a heart and you need 2 pieces of that, so just fold over your fabric and cut 2 at a time.

then you will do presser foot width stitch all around, stopping at about 1-2 inches at the point where you want the tail, for these it is the tip of the bottom of the heart. Then stuff them with polyester filling or fabric strips.

Put aside, and then get your fabric strips whatever length you wish the tail to be, and either braid or tie a knot at the top of them and leave a 1-2 inch top to sew into the fleece shape.

lay the tail at the un-sewn area of the toy and zigzag it in really well, going back and forth a couple of times.

and give to your furbaby!

******as with any dog toy, please make sure that your furbaby does not ingest any piece of the toy by supervising them when they play. Which can lead to simple choking sounds and coughing to fatal intestinal blockages.*****
