The simple directions for these Christmas craft projects can be found in this post:

DIY Christmas Dog Gifts. You create a dough, roll it out, and using your favorite cookie cutters, cut out the shapes of the ornaments. Poke a hole in the top and bake. 

When the dough ornaments are finished baking, they are painted with acrylic paint and sealed. Thread ribbon or string through the hole to make it possible to hang on a Christmas tree or on the wall.

DIY Christmas Dog Gifts

Unique Christmas dog gifts are always a delight for pet parents looking for that perfect gift! Create it for them! Wow your family and friends this holiday season by making original gifts for their pets. 

This unique Christmas craft idea is courtesy of Treats By The Pawful, a dog bakery based in Minooka, Illinois.

Do it yourself Christmas dog gifts
by Treats By The Pawful

What you need:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup regular salt
• 1 cup water
• Food coloring - colors of your choice 
• Cinnamon optional - makes them smell great
• Cookie cutters - designs of your choice. For this project, bone shaped cutters and fish cutters made the main designs
• Paint
• Polyurethane sealant
• Ribbon

Depending on the dough, you may need to add more water if it's too dry or more flour if it's too sticky.

Directions:

• Combine the flour, salt, water, cinnamon to form a dough
• Roll out the dough and cut out shapes with the cookie cutters
• Add food coloring if you desire to various parts of the dough
• Poke holes in the top of the cookie with a toothpick
• Bake at 200 degrees for about 2-3 hours until completely dry.
• Let cool.

The little dog head and the holly were additional cut outs using cookie cutters to create the shapes. 

Some crafters add a touch of cinnamon to give them a wonderful aroma.

After the cookies are cool:

• Spray or paint polyurethane to seal them and give them a shine
• Add ribbon to turn into a hanging ornament

You can personalize them by painting on a dog's or cat's name. Although the ornaments will smell wonderful, they are not for consumption. 

This is a wonderful kids' Christmas craft.

 Let them have their own "pet" project.
