1. Homemade Floggers

2. DIY Restraints
- Materials Needed: Soft rope (cotton or nylon), fabric (like old towels or t-shirts), Velcro strips.
- Instructions: Cut the fabric into strips and sew Velcro onto the ends for adjustable wrist and ankle restraints. For rope restraints, learn basic knots like the square knot and figure-eight knot for secure but comfortable binding.
3. Sensory Play Items
- Feather Tickler: Attach feathers to a small stick or dowel using glue. For a pre-made option, explore this feather tickler.
- Ice Play: Freeze water in different shapes (like heart-shaped molds) for sensual ice play.
4. Impact Play Tools
- Paddle: Cut a paddle shape out of a sturdy piece of wood or thick plastic. Sand down the edges to avoid splinters and paint or decorate as desired. Alternatively, consider this paddle for a professional finish.
- Spanking Spoon: Use a large wooden spoon or spatula for a ready-made impact toy.
5. DIY Blindfolds
- Materials Needed: Soft fabric like silk or cotton, elastic band.
- Instructions: Cut the fabric into a rectangle that fits comfortably over the eyes. Sew the elastic band to the sides for a secure fit.
6. Bondage Tape
- Materials Needed: Vinyl electrical tape or medical tape.
- Instructions: Use tape directly on the skin for secure yet gentle binding. Ensure the tape is not too tight and avoid sensitive areas.
7. Homemade Gags
- Ball Gag: Use a rubber ball and thread a strap through holes drilled on either side of the ball. Secure the ends of the strap with buckles or Velcro. For a ready-made option, explore this gag.
- Bit Gag: Use a piece of soft, flexible plastic tubing or a small PVC pipe. Attach straps on either end for securing around the head.
8. Bondage Furniture
- Spanking Bench: Repurpose a sturdy bench or coffee table by adding cushioning and restraints.
- St. Andrew’s Cross: Use wooden beams to construct a large X-shaped frame. Add eye bolts for attaching restraints at various points.
9. DIY Collars and Leashes
- Materials Needed: Leather or faux leather strips, D-rings, buckles, and strong glue or sewing supplies.
- Instructions: Cut the leather to the desired length and attach the D-ring and buckle using glue and stitching for added durability. For a professionally made collar, check out this collar.
11. DIY Furniture Modification
- Under-Bed Restraints: Use strong rope or fabric strips to create a restraint system that fits under your mattress. Ensure there are enough loops to secure wrists and ankles.
- Bondage Chair: Modify a sturdy chair by adding padding and attaching D-rings for restraints.

- Test the equipment gently to ensure there are no sharp edges or weak points.
- Communicate clearly with your partner about boundaries and safe words.
- Prioritize consent and safety at all times.
