For my project this month, I altered a Folger’s coffee container and turned it into a doggie treat jar.
I used MTC to design the panels (3.5″ x 4.25″) and top (5.25″ circle) and then imported clip art that I found using Google to create the dog and fire hydrant cuts. I used the pixel trace function to do this. For the dog, I copied the resulting cut file, pasted in place to get the same size copy, used Shape Magic to break apart the sections and then removed everything except the outline so I could cut the brown and black portions separately. I cut a small heart with a punch for the tongue and just trimmed to fit. I glued the black part onto the brown using spray adhesive.
The letter was also done in MTC, but that is child’s play. All you need to do is select a font on your computer to make titles.
Thanks for visiting the blog. See you again soon!!

cute cute, I was just looking for something to put treats and rawhide bones in and u just my question as to what to use. Thank you for sharing, I love the way yours turned out.
Oh, I need to do this for my mom! She’ll probably need a couple of them; one for rawhides and one for treats- her spoiled little Abbie even has her own Facebook page. LOL!
I love this idea. Heaven knows I have the cans. 🙂 It is time to make them adorable and useful like this.
What an awesome idea!!! I have an empty container just like this under my sink. Will have to make one for my fur babies!
I think I would like to make something like this to store labels in my garden room. I could make a set. Actually it would be kind of fun to decorate the coffee can I am using for coffee in the kitchen since it is always sitting on the counter anyway.
CUTE!!! I love that fire hydrant! LOL
I am big into re-purposing stuff love this…
Ahhh, been using coffee cans for years for storage, but, never decorated one. Now I just might try that. Thanks for the idea.
I don’t have a fur baby but I may need to make something similar for my grandchildren’s treats. It’s adorable!
What a great idea! We have coffee cans floating around and I think I will do something with them, but don’t seem to get around to it. We have plenty of dog treats too, so this is great inspiration! Thanks!
OMG! I love this project. have 2 dogs and 3 kitties and these would be so great for their treat/pills. TFS
I love that the can is recycled and made good use of for the dog treats.
Loved the project. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea to recycle.
Thanks for sharing, very cute!
So cute! My dogs would love this (well, maybe the treats inside) but I love it!
