Treat Your Dog With This Easy DIY Dog Treat Jar
Nothing beats those excited puppy eyes when they spot the treat jar! If you’re like me, spoiling your furry best friend with tasty rewards is one of life’s greatest joys. I’m going to show you how to make an adorable dog treat jar that’s both functional and Instagram-worthy. Trust me, it’s way more fun than storing treats in those boring plastic bags!
Let’s Get This Pawty Started!
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
You’ll need these goodies to make your own dog treat jar:
- A clean, dry glass jar with a secure lid
- Free “Treats More, Bark Less” hand-lettered SVG (available by signing up for my newsletter below!)
- Adhesive vinyl in your chosen colors (ensure it’s compatible with your cutting machine)
- A cutting machine (such as a Cricut or Silhouette)
- Transfer tape
- Scissors or weeding tools
- Cleaning supplies for your glass jar
Step 2: Download and Prepare the Hand-Lettered SVG
First things first, let’s get that adorable “Treats More, Bark Less” hand-lettered SVG. Head over to our website and sign up for our newsletter – not only will you get instant access to this delightful SVG, but you’ll also join our creative community filled with fantastic crafting inspiration.
Once you’ve downloaded the SVG, open it in your cutting machine’s software. Adjust the size to fit your glass jar – you want it to stand out but not overpower the container.
Step 3: Cut and Weed Your Vinyl
Load your chosen vinyl color onto your cutting machine’s mat and get ready to cut. Follow the prompts in your software to ensure a precise and clean cut. Once your vinyl is cut, carefully weed away the excess material using scissors or weeding tools. You should be left with a beautiful hand-lettered quote ready to transfer.
Step 4: Transfer the Design
Place a piece of transfer tape over your hand-lettered quote. Gently rub the transfer tape to ensure the vinyl adheres properly. Carefully peel off the backing paper, leaving the vinyl design attached to the transfer tape. Position the design on your clean glass jar, making sure it’s centered and straight.
Once you’re satisfied with the placement, press the vinyl onto the jar’s surface, starting from the center and smoothing outward. Use a scraper or an old credit card to remove any air bubbles and ensure a secure bond. Slowly peel away the transfer tape, leaving the vinyl quote on the jar.
NOTE: I also cut out a circular white piece of vinyl to go on the inside of my dog treat jar. I didn’t think the lettering stood out enough and this fixed my problem instantly!
Step 5: Admire Your Handiwork
Voilà! You’ve just transformed a simple glass jar into a charming dog treat container with a heartwarming message. Admire your creation, and get ready to fill it with your pup’s favorite treats. Every time you reach for a snack, you’ll be reminded of the joy and love your furry friend brings into your life.
Crafting with Canine Flair
Every time I use our treat jar, it makes me smile – and not just because my dog does his happy dance! It’s those little personal touches that make a house feel like a home, especially when they’re made with love for our four-legged family members.
Now go forth and create! And remember, if your pup “helps” by taste-testing treats during the project… well, that’s just quality control, right?
