Greetings All.
Calling all crafters~
I'm the Dom on a budget this summer, wondering what kind of toys and/or techniques people have made or discovered for themselves at home, either by just converting a household object to a new use, or by crafting something from materials at hand.
Or, let's say, stuff you would find at the hardware store.
Or maybe a pet store.
I'd also be interested to check out links that give instructions on how to make any manner of BDSM-related things ( tips, anecdotes, and favorite methods of using them are welcome, too.)

Thanks,
Checkers

I have a few files that you may be interested in about making some homemade devices.

easy home-made flogger -

1 rubber bicycle handle cover
1 piece of string
leather strips (half as many as you want your flogger to have tails of)
1 crochet hook

tie the string to the middle of the leather strips (bunched)
use the crochet hook to pull the string through the little hole in the end of the bicycle grip cover
use the string to pull the leather strips up into the bicycle grip cover

viola!! flogger with wrist strap!

Thanks, Thanatosian-
There's a great surplus store in my town that has nice bike handle covers - I was wondering what I could make with them!
I also have some thin nylon cord that is very strong and would work well to secure the leather strips to the handle.
Sorta reminds me of those tassles that little kids hang from their handlebars...

I would like to try making a rope flogger sometime, as I have a little extra rope, and I think that wrapping (is the wrapping technique called "whipping"?) a nice handle for it with some smaller cordage might not be so difficult.

Here are a couple of links if anybody's interested; one is a general overview of flogging by Grim, and the other shows some sites where people show how they made various floggers.

There's a thread in the General BDSM forum called Household Objects, that you may find interesting. It includes some references to household items, hardware store items and even Walmart, like alternative uses for snakebite kits, etc.

When you wear out the next broom or mop, cut the handle off close to the head and the round tip off the handle end... attach a cuff to each end and it's a spreader bar.

Large Zip Tie strips like the cops use in riots make disposable hand/leg cuffs. They can be painful since the are not padded (that's why cops like em'), so you can roll one up in a washcloth or small towel, scarf, handkerchief, etc, before using them. That helps to allow some flexibility, circulation, etc. You can find them at Electrical and Plumbing Supply places, and possibly in Walmart or hardware stores.

This may sound shitty, but a flat plastic toilet seat does cover alot of ass for spanking.

An ordinary garden hose can be used to tie someone up. Depending on how its tied/secured, you could hook the end up and fill it with water pressure.

Don't forget that spray nozzle in the kitchen sink... variable temperature and pressure at your disposal with a sub/slave sitting spread and tied across your sink.

Remember those tiny little ten-speed bike generators that powered head/tail lights at night? They can be used to provide tingling to sensitive areas, and if you have a cordless drill, you can remove the tire hub from the generator shaft and set the shaft in the drill chuck... set on low speed setting and a slight squeeze of the trigger can be interesting. This is a low voltage and current generator, so lethality potential is nill to none... but I'd still recommend low speed to start.

Compressed air or CO2 in small containers for air cleaning of electronics, keyboards, etc, can be used to chill flesh... similar to the way skin cancers and moles ar "burned off". Don't screw up and buy contact cleaner! Aerosol dusters available to consumers are weaker than medical equivalents, but can get pretty cold, so use on a less sensitive area on yourself first to learn it's potential.

An old kids swing set can be an interesting playroom addition. Dump the slide attachment, and most of the swings. The A-frame itself with the multiple attach points can be easily expanded with a few eye bolts on each end and be used as a poor man's suspension rack. They are often used for porch swings, so sturdiness is not an issue. The swings can be added or removed easily for various indoor use.

The old saying goes... one man's trash is another man's treasure!

Inyouagain

yes, it is called 'whipping' and no it is not that hard to do (have done it to the ends of rope to keep them from fraying) - or, if you dont want to take the time, can substitue the rope for the leather in the bike handle flogger

"how to make toys" section.

In case no-ones seen it before.

Personally, you can't beat a coathanger with those little clamps on it, I find the rubber covered ones best.

I was wondering if anyone has seen the type of flogger that operates on a ball-bearing? I don't mean the "swing-hook" type...I once saw a ball-bearing flogger and knew that I should have bought it right away, and didn't. It was so cool for just swinging in a continuous motion. Just thought I would chance it and see if any here knows where I could obtain one. Web searches have been pretty unsuccessful.

M. Kiss-

There is a fellow here in the NYC scene (I think he's from brooklyn) who made these. I haven't seen him in a few years, but I'll see if anyone knows how to contact him. I do know that he sourced the original ball bearing swivels from nunchucka <sp?>(the martial arts tool). I'll ask around and see if anyone can get any info on him.

Stay warm,
Lawrence

Someone told me about a book called "Bondage on a Budget". I haven't seen it but maybe someone else has.

Hi there,
new on this and finding my way round. Regarding the home made toys - I,ve been there - not so much because of the budget; more the matter of getting what I wanted.

I,ve noticed the local agricultural merchant has a wide range of horsey stuff these days. Among this are some very interesting crops, webbing harness ita and pretty rope.

Leather is fun, for me at least, and there is a good choice if you find a real leather merchant.
You will need to select for thickness, colour, flexibility and so on. So a visit is almost essential, or you may be lucky and get samples sent. This is rare these days - perhaps because the samples alone may provide enough !
Using some thin, soft, supple tanned sheepskin - black of course - I made panties and bra for my partner/slave. The advantage is the fit can be perfect as the wearer is there for fittings. This is fun in itself. Oh and do ( or don,t) be careful with the pins and needle !
The same stuff - the off cuts - made interesting nipple thongs. A thin strip, about 6-7mm ( 1/4") wide and 75mm (3") long is slit at one end to make an eye through which the other end is threaded. Need I say more. You will have to experiment to get the thing to slip and still hold and of course you do need nipples of a certain size for it to bind.

Office supplies are also a rich source of cheap, disposable and fun ita. DO NOT try the stapler - there really is no way to sterilize - but paper clips. There are the bent wire ones and more fun the spring ones, which come in many sizes. DO test the spring strength and adjust it and look for sharp edges.

Right this is now so long it wont fit ???

You can go to the local camping store and for 4 dolalrs you can buy a snake bight kit. Also go to your local Tack shop for horses and some farm stores you can look for riding crops, Slappers,Hobble for horses. I was able to use a hobble for ankls cuffs. Then you got to love the dolalr stores and for a dollar you can buy ping pong paddle and a sack of golf balls in a package which could be use for a gag once you put a string through the one of the holes. Good luck

Hello

I made several of these and gave them to my Dominant friends for Christmas last year.

You will need:

22 inches of aquarium tubing
rope (length depends on the rope size)
beads and glue (both optional)

To add extra weight (optional) fill the tubing with small seed beads, plug the ends and glue. Leave enough space empty so the tube stays flexible. In other words....don't overfill.

Fold the tubing in half and wrap rope where the ends come together to make a handle. Again, wrap so that the handle stays flexible.

You end up with something that looks like a rugbeater. It makes for an intensely evil inner thigh toy and leaves the most delightful horseshoe marks. <G>

Enjoy

Ms Sandi

I have found many things in dollar store just use your imagination. Clothespins,clips that hold papers together and small hairclips with teeth are good for nipple clamps. Nylon rope doent burn for tied slave, ping pong paddles and bat a ball(just cut off ball),wooden spoon,plastic fly swatter for spanking. These are a few i used when putting together pleasure chest.

Now for something completely different.. My favorite home made toy is affectionately known as Mr. Remington.

Note: I did not come up with this on my own, nor do I know who originally did this conversion to give them proper credit. My first one was a gift from a friend, whom I am no longer in contact with, who received her first one as a gift.

What you need-
Remington shaver, model MSC 100
Aquarium tubing
2 AA batteries
Small screwdriver

Once you can either gnaw or cut your way through the packaging to get the razor out, use the screwdriver to pop the shaving head off the top of the razor body. Inside you will see a couple of springs with the small razor blades attached.. Carefully slip those parts off of the little plastic nubs nestled into the recessed area and dispose of them. Remove the screens from the cap you popped off and replace it back where it came from. Now you cut a section of the aquarium tubing, approximately 2 or 3 inches long. Place each end of tubing over each one of the two little plastic vibrating nubs inside the body. Add batteries, then test.. If the tubing slips off, and it may, just push it back in place. This is the most marvelous little toy for pleasure or for torture. Best use is in 'intimately personal' areas..

Enjoy!

Re: Inyouagain's ideas... while there are a couple of good ideas here... There are also some which need to have a safety warning attached for those who do not know better. Playing with electrical toys that were not designed for play or medical use is generally a BAD idea. "This is a low voltage and current generator, so lethality potential is nill to none... but I'd still recommend low speed to start. " It should be noted that ANY current... regardless of how small can stop a heart if the current finds its way home. A nill to none chance is still too much. Death is not cool. It's a good idea to use the no play above the waist rule...but if you choose to play above the waist...please do so with attachments like folsoms nipple parachutes which will only allow the current to pass between electrodes on the same nipple...NOT accross the chest. You can buy a cheap tens unit for under $100 which is way fun and a lot safer. ( web seach for Houston Medical may help here)

Chilling the skin.... we al lknow this can be fun...but, once again...safety is a huge issue. If you hold it too close to the skin, or for too long.... (seconds) it can cause serious skin damage, and a scar that will not go away. I speak from experiance on this one. If... it were to be in a sensative area... who knows how bad the damage could be? Personally, Id stick to the trusty Ice cube... and if you get creative, you can freeze it into all sorts of fun shapes. Dont mean to spoil the fun...but when you are speaking of anything with the potential of death or perminant marking... you do need to be responsible. Cheers :)
