- 1). Make a tug-and-toss dog toy. Draw a mark on one side of a tennis ball. Turn it over and make another mark on the opposite side.
- 2). Place the tennis ball in a vise to make a dog toy. Make sure it's fastened securely in the vise, but don't squish it.
- 3). Use a power drill to bore a hole--just a bit bigger than the diameter of the rope--into the ball where you made a mark. Flip the tennis ball over and drill another hole on the other mark. Make sure you have drilled all the way through.
- 4). Slide an end of the rope through both holes in the tennis ball. Push the ball to the middle of the rope. Then tie a knot in the rope at each side of the ball. Tie the two ends of the rope together to make a loop, and the dog toy is ready to use.
