HOMEMADE DOG ORNAMENTS

[Cathy C. Bennett]

I am simply FASCINATED by crafty people. Why? Because I am NOT! When I read the instructions on “how to make your own DIY dog ornament”, I thought “I can do that.”

Again, I’m not very crafty – but I wanted to at least try.

Here’s what they said I’d need:

• Chenille bump stems (They’re fancy pipe cleaners)
•  Scissors
• Tape runner or glue stick
• Glue gun
• Mini dollhouse bottlebrush trees (optional)
• Mini dollhouse candy canes (optional)

They also suggested I get an extra set of helping paws. Mine however, wasn’t interested…

Not interested at all in watching anybody make anything!

I got my supplies together, and I was ready to get started…

I followed the list to the letter!

I followed steps 1 through 8, but when I finished, there was a bit of a discrepancy between the two. This is what theirs looked like…

Cute – huh?

And this is what mine looked like…

What happened Captain?

Go ahead – you can laugh, I’ve got broad shoulders. I think they’re kinda cute in an awkward sort of way. Did you notice I remembered to include “Wilson?”

 

Not sure by Harley’s reaction if my Doodle Ornament was “pup-approved” or not. He showed no emotion…

I would have felt so much better if he at least tried to eat the head off or something…

What I lack in the arts & crafts department I make up for in confidence. I marched downstairs proud as could be, showed them to DH (he reacted like Harley) then placed my DIY Dog Ornaments upon my tree…

If I had enough time I’d make the whole world a Doodle Ornament

Should you decide between now and Wednesday that you want to have some fun while the cookies are baking in the oven, here’s the link so you’ll have the “original” instructions. Let me know how yours turn out, send pics….

Hey Hazel - you are absolutely correct! I used some from my neighbor who always works on arts & crafts projects with her two girls. I will admit, it was somewhat entertaining to my family as I attempted this tiny project. Thanks for reading.

I think those are cute!

I saw that on Bark Box- Good for you to try it!. I think you just didn't have the same kind of Chenille Bumps they  used.

Those are adorable! I will definitely give it a try but it will be after all the holiday festivities are over. Thanks for sharing!
