They look like bouquets!😊🥰

You girls are the best

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Aww you're making us blush, thank you!

[@kashleys9749]

I love this idea! Just spent over 1hr.looking at a ton of snuffle mats & treat puzzles on Amazon yesterday & thought it looked like it might be fun to make one myself,but no idea where to begin. Think I'll see how this goes b4 trying something bigger & more complicated w/minimal sewing experience, lol...

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

LOL, great idea to start small with a snuffle toy. This one is super-duper easy to make and will go over with your pup in a BIG way!

[@tunes10590]

Thanks for the great video! A large crochet hook might be handy to both pull the bundles in and then pull then ends out through the holes.

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

That is a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing!

Lol I just got out a large hook! I know this is an older video. You might not see it. But lol same idea!

I have been buying tie blankets with the fleece at Thrift Stores. For a full size tied blanket I pay like $3 to $4 dollars which I think is a great price! I untie the knots and wash them.

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@sang-yeonkim7989]

Wow 👏

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

So great! I have a puzzle dog and he doesn't really care about the empty ball so much so this will be a game changer for my Dobes and my Beagle/JRT mix. They'll each need their own ball am sure.

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

I bet they'll both love it! This particular design has been a favorite for my Basset and Doxie.

When you make this ball girls do you keep the strip's doubled or do you single them? I can't tell Thanks Cathy from down under

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Hi, Cathy, Basically, the goal is to have one fleece strip for every hole in the toy.... but it's totally up to you. If you use a larger Holee-Roller ball toy, you may need to use two strips for each hole. Or if you'd like you can skip a few holes so that they don't have fleece rolled up in them. Hope this helps!

[@jackiestewart1697]

What size ball do you use

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

You can use either the medium or large Hol-ee Roller balls. Here is a link to the step-by-step instructions if that's helpful houndhuggerdiy.com/snuffle-star

[@sheilamace7625]

Have you tried to use a large crochet hook to pull the strips out?

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Great idea!

[@janpiacentini2878]

Could you use knit fabric for this?

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

The important thing is that the fabric doesn't fray so knit might work, you could also try sweatshirt material.

[@rosemarycatalano2914]

Hi! Love your channel! Are these washable?

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Thank you! Yes, shake out any remaining treats and they can be washed then just allow them to air dry.

[@dianaknight4319]

Where do I get that ball at

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Here is an amazon link for the Hol-ee Roller ball amzn.to/3KDkzx5 And here is a link to our step-by-step instructions, in case you need them wehearthounds.com/snuffle-star

[@eviejenkinson-whipps1383]

Where do you get your fleece from?

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

Great question! Wal Mart or Hobby Lobby is where we got our fleece but you could go to a local fabric store or order from amazon. Here are our step-by-step instructions with links to the materials wehearthounds.com/snuffle-star If you give it a try we would love to hear how it turns out!

[@TimeTravelingBirds]

If you have an IKEA near you, they have a fleece blanket that costs about 2 bucks. It's grey so very boring, but cheap and might be easier to find. (found the name: Vitmossa)

[@HoundHuggerDIY]

@@TimeTravelingBirds Great suggestion!

Hi, I am a fan. I hope it is fine with you. I need to just take a few seconds of this clip for my video promoting the use of this dog toy for our dogs' health. I will give credits at the end of the video.
