Instructions

    • 1

      Trace out a pine tree shape on the thick green felt. You want it to be at least four inches wide and about seven inches in length.

    • 2

      Cut out the pine tree shape and use it to trace another pine tree on another piece of thick green felt so that the two pine tree cutouts are the same size.

    • 3

      Sew the two pine tree pieces together, leaving the bottom part of the tree open so that you can fill your tree toy.

    • 4

      Punch or cut out small holes at the bottom of the tree. These holes will be used later to close your tree.

    • 5

      Take a small sock or cloth bag and fill it with about half a cup of your dog's dry food and some treats if you so desire. Tie the back securely with some string.

    • 6

      Place the treat bag inside the tree cutouts you have sewn together, and close the tree at the bottom by weaving thick yarn through the holes.

    • 7

      Attach the trees to each other, and tie the yarn in a knot to secure.

    • 8

      You now have an easy dog tree toy. Make sure you refill the bag regularly, and change out old treats and food weekly.
