wait.. an upcycled... cow?

Yep. It's the planter nobody ever knew they needed to have in their life!

A dog toy made from scraps

My parents own a dog. Not just any dog; a BIG dog. Her name is Benthe.

"That will be me!!"

I can tell you a lot of stories about Big Benthe, but I won't do that since this blog is about making things, not about dogs. So I won't tell you about that time she ran away while still being attached to a bicycle rack, and subsequently had an entire French village in uproar. Nope, definitely won't tell about that ;)

But what I can tell you about her is that she loves to chew on stuff. A lot. And if there are no dog toys around, She'll happily go off and search for something else to chew on, like gloves.

In order to stop her from chewing on all my dad's working gloves, I decided to make Benthe a little present. And I had just the material for it: scraps.
