Upcycled Doggy Leg Warmers




You know you've made a great dog product...when it stays on!  Unlike dog shoes, these leg warmers stayed on for hours, no problem.  They were also incredibly easy to make.  Just see instructions below and your dog can have his own leg warmers within the next hour!!!

INSTRUCTIONS

Find an old pair of socks (for bigger dogs, use knee highs and cut them to the desired length).  Cut the socks at the bottom of the ankle area.


Then cut the top part in half.


You should now have 4 pieces.  Turn them all inside out and sew the new edges together leaving the top and bottom edges open (the type of fabric my socks were made of required hand stitching instead of the sewing machine).  Take in as much as you need depending on the width of your dog's legs.


Reverse them again, and voila!!!  Sooooo simple!!


EXTRA NOTES

For extra cuteness, add a bow at the top of each legging, add ruffles, add rhinestones...you get the point.

The stretchier the socks are, the better they will stay on.  Also, thicker socks look best.  Depending on the type of material, some leg warmers might need to be hemmed at the top and bottom holes.  

I hope you enjoyed!!!

    I've often used baby socks with a few pieces of velcro added to the top for my dog's if they had a pad problem. :o

  4. I'm just wondering...do they not try to chew them off?
    I think they are really cute, but do wonder about that.

  5. @ Jus Shar Designs - I think it depends on the dog! Sebastian has never tried to chew them off. He is such a good sport and loves playing dress up.

  10. I made one of them for my dog. Tried it on and he immediately began trying to chew and rip it off. Glad I didn't make the other three. Haha great concept though.

  17. Like people, dogs also need food, clothing and accommodation. Therefore, before feeding the dog, you must wash the various living utensils of the dog.

  18. The sand making system of sand aggregate production line is mainly composed of vertical impact crusher, bar mill, vibration screen, gradation adjustment equipment, air screen (or sand washing machine).

    At present, vertical shaft impact crusher and bar mill are widely used in domestic sand making machines. For fragile and medium hardness raw materials, the vertical impact crusher can be used to make sand separately, and the high-speed vertical impact crusher can be used to cooperate with shaping.

    For materials with high hardness and especially difficult to break, the short-head cone crusher and bar mill are used to make sand.

  21. I have to say, this is a very landmark metal forming process. The definition of precision skiving is to cut a whole piece of metal profile according to the need, using a special planer with precise control to cut out the specified thickness of thin slices, and then bending up to an upright state, as a skived fin.The easier way to think about it is to take a piece of metal and cut it into the shape of a heat sink that we normally see.This method is most common in the pure copper heat sink.
