Sometimes the simplest things bring maximum benefit and joy. A treat jar is just such a case. Convenient, beautiful and always at hand – after all, treats should be not only tasty, but also stylishly served! And if you make a jar with your own hands, it will become not just a storage, but a real element of comfort of the house where the happy dog lives.
To begin with, find a suitable jar. It is best to use glass – it is easy to wash, does not absorb odors and looks aesthetically pleasing. A coffee, honey or jam jar with a volume of 0.5 to 1 liter will do. You can also use a metal or plastic jar with a tight lid – the main thing is that it closes well, keeps fresh and does not open from a slight push.
What comes in handy for decoration:
- acrylic paints or spray paint,
- jute rope or decorative cord,
- glue (hot glue gun or super glue),
- stickers, ribbon, felt, buttons, fabric.
Idea: paint the jar or lid one color (white, black, terracotta or pastel), add a tag that says “Treats for Rex” or “Dog Treats”, wrap cord around the neck of the jar, add a small bow or pendant. You can print and glue on a photo of your pet or an illustration face.
Tip: To make the lettering neat, use a stencil or a glass marker. You can also coat the jar with clear varnish for durability and shine.
Additional ideas:
- Make a set of jars: one for treats, one for vitamins, one for small toys.
- Use the jar as a doggie gift – fill it with goodies and package it beautifully.
- Add a magnet or hook and the jar can be hung next to leashes at the entrance.
- For fans of boho or rustic style – decorate the jar with a piece of burlap, a sprig of dried flowers and a wooden tag.
Such a thing will please the eye every day, especially in those moments when you and your tail look at each other, and he already knows: you are reaching for that very jar. Coziness, care and a little creativity – that’s the recipe for a little doggy happiness.
