How to Make Dog Treats Ornaments

1
Purchase bone-shaped dog treats. (They come in different sizes to accommodate the appetites of different-sized doggies.) Get the next larger size than is recommended for your hound, and watch his tail wag!

2
Wrap the treat at the midpoint with raffia, leaving just a bit of space to thread some red ribbon. Tie a knot in the raffia.

3
Thread the red ribbon through the raffia. Make a loop to hang the bone from the tree, and finish with a big bow on top.

Tips & Warnings
If you think your naughty dog might steal the treat from the tree, you can dip the bone into lacquer and let it dry before adding the decorations. The additional step will mask the tantalizing odor from all but the most olfactory-gifted hounds.
Use unwired ribbon, just in case the worst happens and your dog eats the ornament. Ribbon and raffia will pass through a dog's system with a minimum of discomfort.
