your own pet toys.... if so do you mind sharing how you made them?

I have always wanted to make little toys for the pets but I don't know where to begin.

I don't make toys for my kitten or buy them.. But she likes these items


Balled up paper..
My DS plastic golfballs (they have holes in them so she can get it stuck on a nail and fling)
Balled up socks..
my lanyard for my keys (that you put around your neck)
Toilet paper tubes FAVORS the paper towel tubes though
And my ponytail holders...

Many many Happy meal Toys Have been My cats Favorites too.!

Both our dogs love sock toys, especially the dane. Take 2 old socks (we use tube socks since they are bigger and will have floppy ends) Lay them in an "X"and tie them in a knot. When the dane chews one up he goes into his "sock box" and gets a couple (or all ) new ones. When I was growing up at times they were the only toys we really could afford for the dogs.
