Get some new bicycle innertubes and wash them, then cut them into 2 ft sections. Roll up the end and un-roll like a condom onto a wooden dowel for the handle. Repeat with the second one.

Use scissors to cut the free end into lashes. This will give you a long, rubber whip that is very light and stingy for lots of whipping without much damage. Good for warm-ups and genital play. Too much use will cause the cuts for the lashes to travel up the rubber and into the handle. Wrap the end with a strap, twine or thongs.

I just found some videos of the FemaleDom variety where they use among other things are slippers. Properly used, they were reddening the bottoms of some pretty big guys. This might be the time to get some leather slippers or "Rainbow" flip-flops.

Dont be afraid to look for hair-brushes or long-handled bath brushes that can be used. (There is something Romantic about a woman using her hair-brush to gently and completely reduce a daughter to blubbering tears with the application of her wooden brush to the backside.) But be aware that wood is very hard and can raise bruises without much effort.

One dom showed us a keychain whip that someone had made for her out of a heavy rubber welcome mat. It was cut into 8 inch length and twice as wide as needed. Then it was folded over and one end was riveted to make a handle. The rubber grooves on the other end were carefully cut to make lashes. This sounds simple but it created a very heavy rubber whip that would make some spectacular welts.

At a discount tool store I found a bunch of solid wood hammer handles for about $2/each. I bought several with the idea of using them for whip handles, but never got around to using them.

There used to be some books on home-made bondage toys. I also started another thread about garage sale finds that can be used for D/S play. This weekend I found:

- Old, very big candles that would be perfect for wax-play
- Wooden stool that could have a toy attached for penetration play.

Hope these ideas help.
