Innertube dog tag silencer

My dog has a nasty habit of shaking her ears when they itch rather than just scratching like a good human child would.  It's fine, but it drives me insane when her tags make that 'jingle jingle', mostly because long bouts of 'scratchy ears' only seem to show up around 3AM.

Asking around town for silencers got me a lot of "we have *dogtag* silencers, but no *dog* *tag* silencers".  I finally found some at the pet store (duh, should have looked there first), but the city's vaccination and licensing tags are oddly shaped, and these bits of round plastic do no good.  This instructable demonstrates how to silence any shape of tag using an old bike innertube.

Step 1 Materials

Gather up what you will need, it's not much:

- Old bike innertube
- Rubber cement
- Something heavy (bricks are heavy!)
- Hobby knife or razor blades
- Wax paper (not shown)
- Tags to silence
