Dogs need holiday presents too, and this Dog Treat Wreath is a perfect holiday present that doubles as a decoration and lets you give the tastiest treats to your furry friends!
A few years ago I wrote about Pet Adoption Month, and encouraged everyone to consider adopting a dog. At least one person took action after my post, my Mom, who decided she needed a dog of her own. So she adopted Alex, a cute little pup, from the Humane Society.
Alex is very happy in his new home, so I wanted to make him a special Christmas present, and decided he would appreciate a wreath of dog treats. This craft is simple, and the result is really cute!
Supplies
- Milk Bones and Pup Pepperoni dog treats
- one or two colors of Christmas ribbon
- piece of cardboard
- paint
Directions
- First I cut a circle out of a piece of cardboard. I just traced around a dinner plate, and then used a bowl to trace around for the inner circle. Then I cut the wreath base out.
- I painted the wreath base green, since the cardboard will show through on the wreath.
- Then I tied the red ribbon to the cardboard, and wrapped it around the treats to hold them on the wreath base. I was worried the treats would fall out, but they actually held very easily.
- When I got to the end of the circle I tied the ribbon underneath. I used a green ribbon to make a bow for the bottom and tied it to one of the treats.
I put the wreath aside to wrap for Christmas, but unfortunately my dog Dodger found it and he ate most of the treats off the wreath! So I had to take it all apart and remake it with new treats, and this time I boxed it up and mailed it right away!
It is fun to make cute doggy gifts! How do you treat your pets this holiday season?
I’ll have to remember this for next year. What a fun treat it would be for our four-legged family member!

How adorable! My dog would go crazy over this wreath (and my kids would think it was pretty doggone cute!)
How cute is that! My dogs would go nuts for that and would not leave it alone. I wouldn’t be able to hang it. They love those treats.
This looks awesome. Wonderful festive pet idea.
This is such a cute idea! But I know my dog Austin would jump up and eat all the bones! HAHA
