Here's what you do:

Using fabric scissors, cut the felt into a 6.5" circle. You may want to find a plate or pot lid that is about this size to use as a template.

Insert a decorative brad into the ribbon. Using Advance Strength Glue Dots, adhere the ribbon to the metal ring for the mason jar. Fill the pint jar with dog treats. Put the felt circle on top of the mason jar lid, and then push the lid up through the ring. Screw it onto the top of the mason jar.

Cut out a 1.5 inch triangle out of orange cardstock. Use a dauber to sponge the edges. Adhere it to the pint jar with Advance Strength Glue Dots. Secure the googly eyes using Pop Up Dots.

Use your Sizzix Big Shot and die to create a tag. Stamp a holiday sentiment. Embellish it with decorative washi, bling, and twine. You may want to use decorative brads and hole punch to finish the look. Tie the tag onto rim of the hat.

Treat man’s best friend to a decorated jar filled with snacks this holiday season. Any dog lover is going to squeal with delight and refill this treat jar over the winter months!
