Here are a few items you can make easily and inexpensively for yourself. Maybe you want to be able to construct some toys instead of carrying things with you when you travel, or maybe you like the idea of using things you’ve made on someone. Either way, here are eight quick ideas for toys you can make yourself from easy obtainable materials. Each of the materials lists tells you what you need to make one of them, but you can make as many as you want the same way.

Frayed Rope Flogger

Materials List
• three feet of soft nylon rope
• popsicle stick
• piece of leather thong, approximately 24″
• Super Glue

Construction Details
Take the rope and fold it in half with the popsicle stick lengthwise in the middle. Now put some Super Glue on the end of the leather thong. What you want to do is wrap the leather thong around the folded rope and popsicle stick to make a handle for the flogger. Start by wrapping over the end with the Super Glue on it, then finish by adding some glue to the other end and tucking it under the wraps. When you’re done just unravel the rope to create the flogger tails.

Play Tips
While this isn’t a very painful flogger, it’s good for warming up someone before a heavier flogging or for bringing someone back down after one. The tails can tangle pretty easily, so tie a knot in them when not in use to keep them under control (hitting them with a little spray Static Guard will help with that too).

Clothespin Zipper

Materials List
• six to eight clothespins (or more)
• silk cord, or plastic or leather lace, 24″ (or more)

Construction Details
This zipper can be made a couple of ways. The traditional way is to pass the cord or lace through the metal spring in each clothespin and knot the cord on each side of each clothespin. This gives you a reusable zipper that stays together for next time. The other way to make a zipper is to simply clamp each clothespin over the cord. While there is nothing keeping the clothespins on the cord, they will still all pull off at once.

Play Tips
Make these with sets of different sized clothespins. You can string a lot of the little tiny ones on a cord to torment places where the big clothespins don’t work as well. Tie several strings to one control cord and pull that one to remove all the sets at once.

Black Jack Cane

Materials List
• some clear vinyl tubing, 1/4″ or 1/2″ inside diameter, 24″ long
• two to four erasers from the ends of pencils
• big handful of BBs (copper, steel or both)
• Super Glue • roll of duct tape

Construction Details
First put some Super Glue inside one end of the vinyl tubing. Now stuff one or two erasers inside the tube to seal that end. Trim the eraser even with the end of the tube. Turn the tube around and pour the BBs into the other end, almost filling the tube. (Twirl a piece of paper into a funnel shape to make pouring them in easier.) Put a little Super Glue inside this end of the tube too. And now stuff an eraser or two into this end, trimming it even with the tube end again. Wrap as much duct tape as you want around one end of the tube to make a handle for the cane.

Play Tips
Depending on the diameter of the tube you’ll have either a stingier or a thuddier cane. If you use both steel and copper BBs you can add them in layers for a nice visual effect in the clear tubing. Add colored duct tape for a more custom touch. You can also fold the tube in half and duct tape the whole length of it to create a nice thuddy blackjack.

Tit Wringer

Materials List
• two wooden dowel rods, 3/8″ diameter, 24″ long (or long cooking chopsticks)
• two or four elastic hair ties

Construction Details
Place one of the dowel rods under your partner’s breasts. Place the other dowel rod above their breasts. Add the hair ties to the ends of the dowel rods to squeeze them tightly together.

Play Tips
These work best on someone with larger breasts. You may find they slip off on smaller breasts. An option is to use two sets of smaller chopsticks to bind each breast separately, or to bind just the nipples or directly behind them. You can also tie a cord around the middle of the two rods and loop it around the back of your partner’s neck, both to help hold the wringer up and because the wringer will be getting yanked around whenever your partner’s neck moves.
