Up until now, I have been keeping the dog's treats in the box they come from the pet store in. It rarely closes properly and her chewy treats end up crunchy very quickly. This week I decided to make an upcycled dog treats jar to keep her treats a bit more fresh. Not that SHE is all that picky. This is the dog that likes to eat bunny poop and drink out of the toilet. But, since I love the often annoying little canine that rules this house, I think she deserves fresh dog treats! So, if you have an empty jar or two lying around, try making an upcycled dog treats jar for your own pooch. It is incredibly easy to do and a very inexpensive DIY project that even your kids could help you do. I will include a few photos of our DIY dog treat jar and some affiliate links for products that you might need.
Upcycled Dog Treats Jar
Supplies:
empty jar with lid, large or small, depending on your needs.
paint in your desired colors
glue gun
scissors
Mod Podge and applicator to adhere the paper to the jar.
wood cabinet knob for the handle
dog treats to put in the jar!
Directions:
Make sure the empty jar and lid you are using for your dog treats container are clean and dry.
Using the hot glue gun, attach the wooden cabinet knob to the center top of the jar lid. Let dry.
Paint the lid of the jar and the wood cabinet knob the desired color. Add pawprints or other decorative elements if you are artistic!
Cut the scrapbook paper to the desired length and width you will need to wrap around the jar
Apply Mod Podge to the back of the paper and attach to the jar. Hold firmly in place for a minute or two until set.
Once the Mod Podge is dry just add your dog treats to the jar, screw on the lid and you are done!
Do you keep your pup's treats in the box or a dog treats jar?

This is such a cute idea! My two furbabies will be so happy they'll be able to see their treats. Of course, I'll be happier because it looks so much better than trying to zip those crazy treat bags up.

it is much prettier than the box that was sitting on my shelf!

This is a really cute idea. I could see making these jars for so many different things in my house. Even a cookie jar for the kids would be fun!

next I want to do ones for the linen closet for cotton balls, qtips , etc!

What a fun way to reuse jars! I've always recycle jars like that because they aren't very "pretty", but adding the knob makes them so cute!
Diane
the little knob is very inexpensive from most home supply stores and give it a nice, decorative look to it!

We don't have a dog, but our cat gets treats and this would be a great idea for that as well. Or how about a secret chocolate jar for us... we need treats too!

What a great idea! We go through pickels so fast in our house, this would make a nice project for my daughter and I to do.
