A dog bone Christmas wreath is a unique decoration and a perfect Christmas gift for any dog lover. You can make them to give away, or you can create one especially for your own canine best friend. Cover it with a few of Fido's favorite treats, and he'll have a very Merry Christmas.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Styrofoam craft wreath
  • 4 yards of wide ribbon in Christmas colors
  • Scissors
  • White craft glue
  • 4 yards of narrow ribbon in Christmas colors
  • Dog bones
  • Small dog toys and treats
  • Straight pins
  • Real or artificial greenery
  1. Step 1

    Wrap the Styrofoam wreath with the wide ribbon, wrapping in a diagonal fashion. Attach the beginning and ending of the ribbon to the back of the Styrofoam.

  2. Step 2

    Use the remaining wide ribbon to tie a big bow, and glue it to the top of the dog bone wreath.

  3. Step 3

    Cut several pieces of narrow ribbon about 10 inches in length. Use them to tie the dog bones, treats and dog toys to the Styrofoam. If you use large dog bones, you may need longer pieces of ribbon that you can wrap around the bone more times to hold it securely.

  4. Step 4

    Continue tying on as many dog bones, treats and toys as you like.

  5. Step 5

    Tie some small bows with the narrow ribbon and use straight pins to attach the bows to a few of the empty areas.

  6. Step 6

    Fill in the remaining empty spots with real or artificial greenery. Poke the stems into the Styrofoam, and secure them with a bit of white craft glue.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you use real greenery, make sure that it isn't toxic, just in case your dog grabs hold of the wreath.
