How to Make Dog Biscuit Containers

Just a few embellishments on a simple glass jar can give your dog treat container a homemade touch.

Dog treats generally come in big, ugly cardboard boxes that take up a lot of cabinet space or end up forgotten at the bottom of your pantry. Making a dog treat container out of a mason jar or old coffee tin is a good way to spend an afternoon and the containers can even be given as gifts. Even though your dog doesn't care what the container looks like, this activity is a good way to liven up your kitchen.

Things You'll Need

• Glass jar
• Acrylic paint
• Paintbrush
• Heavy paper or felt
• Glue
• Glitter (optional)

Instructions

1. Paint your jar. You can paint the entire thing one color or just add some decorations, such as a few horizontal stripes or a bone or, if you're especially artistic, a picture of your dog.

2. Sprinkle glitter on the wet paint if you want to add some sparkle. Let the paint dry.

3. Cut out letters from the felt or heavy paper. It can say "dog," "treats" or even your dog's name. Glue them on to the jar in whatever place you desire.

4. Let the letters dry. Fill the jar with dog treats.
