Tis' the season for some ornaments!

Make your holiday a bit cozier with these pet-themed holiday ornaments:

Wood-backed Photo Ornaments:
Materials:

  • Unfinished wood slices or coasters (available at most craft stores)
  • Printed photos
  • Ribbon
  • Mod Podge + brush
  • Scissors
  • Drill to make a small hole for the ribbon

Steps:

  1. Trace the wood circle on the back of your photo. Cut out the photo and test it on the coaster for size, trim any access.
  2. Place a bit of Mod Podge on the back of the photo and stick it to the wood, let dry at least 1 min.
  3. Put a layer of Mod Podge over the whole front side of the ornament over the photo. Let dry completely.
  4. Drill a small hole at the top large enough to fit a ribbon through.
  5. Tie ribbon through the hole so it can be hung on a tree or mantle!

Snow Ornament:
Materials:

  • Iridescent artificial snowflakes
  • Fillable clear plastic craft ornaments
  • Ribbon
  • String or fishing wire
  • An object to go inside (here we used an XS KONG Classic)

Steps:

  1. Open the ornament and pour some of the snowflakes into one half.
  2. Take your object and tie a piece of fishing wire or a string around it and set into the half with the snowflakes with the string close to the top.
  3. Carefully place the other half onto the ornament, lining up the holes at the top.
  4. Tie the piece of fishing wire through the holes so whatever object you placed in the ornament hangs in the middle.
  5. String a ribbon through the holes in order to hang it on the tree.

Paw Print Ornament:
Materials:

  • Air-dry clay
  • A willing paw

Steps:

  1. Mold some of the air-dry clay into a disc shape.
  2. Press your pet’s paw into the disc shape so there is an imprint.
  3. Let dry.
