I’m a zoo that hasn’t been able to buy a professionally made toy, so I’ve gotten into the habit of making my own. I’d love to start a thread of tips for making homemade toys.
I’ve been molding my own for a few years. By no means am I a professional, but I wanted to share what I’ve learned thu trial and error.
Here’s a pic of “my hubby” as I call him, my current regular use toy who’s been my secret companion for over a year when I couldn’t take care of a dog in my current situation.
I made him with an old t-shirt cut into strips and rolled tight to create a stiff, yet forgiving frame. I bound the fabric with rubber bands, adding 2 additional layers of thin fabric to the knot to make it pop where I needed. The whole thing is wrapped in electrical tape, inspired from a reddit post recommending duct tape. I’m a marching band guard kiddo, so I have plenty of electrical tape laying around, iykyk. It’s much more flexible and forgiving when wrapping the mold. The base is the elastic waist of the shirt bound with tape and anchored into place by rolling the band within the body frame roll. This ensures that the toy is not gonna be lost in you and to provide the secondary bulb behind the knot to lock into place once the knot pops in. Because it’s store bought electrical tape wrapping it, I use a lubricated condom each time I play with him to keep it safe and comfortable.
All in all, my hubby has 10 inches to give, more than enough for the experience I have. He took a week of work to fabricate. I know I don’t have all the steps to guide through making a toy like this, but I hope I gives the confidence to someone like me to start through the process to make their own companion.
Maybe I’ll make a new toy with a step by step picture guide soon!
