Create a Festive DIY Christmas Stocking for Your Dog

When Christmas comes around, you don't want Fido to feel left out, so here is a handy and simple way to personalize any stocking for your puppy.

You can get almost everything you need at a large craft store like Michaels. With all DIY pet projects, it's important to use non-toxic paints, in case your dog tries to chew on her Christmas stocking.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Stocking
  
• Non-toxic fabric paint
  
• Glitter
  
• Fabric markers or squeezable paint
  
• Glitter
  
• Newspaper
  
• Paper plates
  
• Paper towels
  
• Sponge
  
• Treats and toys
  
• Your pup

Step 1

Spread newspaper or a tarp on the floor of your workspace.

Step 2

Squeeze paint onto a paper plate.

Step 3

Press your dogs paw onto the paint and then onto the stocking.

Step 4

Quickly sprinkle glitter onto the paint.

Step 5

Repeat the process a few more times, trying different colors of paint until you've covered the stocking with the right amount of holiday paw prints.

Step 6

Once the prints have dried, use a fabric marker or non-toxic paint to write your dogs name on the top of the stocking.

And there you go! What will Santa bring your puppy this Christmas?
