Hello there, friends! This is Lydia Cost, and I’m thrilled to be sharing a look at my dog treat holders, using the adorable I Love My Dog collection.
These portable treat holders are amazing for sharing with your local animal shelters, small businesses, or neighbors with pets. I love how simple they are to whip up, and I love the little smile they bring to all kinds of pet owners.
These are really simple to create. You simply design a shape about three times the size of the treat that you intend to use. For my particular dog treats, a dog bone shape was perfect. I chose to hand draw and cut each of my shapes, but you could design or find a dog bone in the cut-file store just as easily. All you need is two identical shapes to back together and then stitch up your treat.
Make sure to stitch up your bone or shape before putting in your treat, leaving a gap for your treat to slide in. Finish up by sliding in your treat, and then hand guide your sewing machine knob to stitch up the rest. Once they are all stitching up, the fun part comes; Dress-up your treat holders with ephemera and stickers
My lovely little treats made their way to a friend’s coffee shop, to give to her dog-loving customers. I suggest leaving a few of the threads on the edges loose, so that the end of your treat holder is easy to tear to remove the bone or snack.
I hope you’re filled with some inspiration from my little treat holders, and thanks so much!
