DIY Treat Jar for pets

I got inspired from Pinterest yet again to make these adorable
treat jars.  You can purchase dog figurines as well and store your puppy treats.


 
Easy to do and fun here are the items you will need.
 
 
 
 
Plastic cat figurines
Michaels- $9.99
I used a 50% off coupon for these so go them half off
 



Chalkboard stickers
Michaels- $1.99


Small mason jar
Michaels- $1.00







E6000 Glue
Walmart- $2.68
Waverly Semi-Gloss Acrylic Paint
Walmart- $1.66
Sponge brush
Michaels- $.10

 
First you glue the top together and then add drops of glue to each paw and place on center of top.
Let dry



Using the sponge brush paint two coats over the cat and lid



Add the chalkboard label to the mason jar and write your desired words and presto!
Adorable treat jars. The one on the left was from the Dollar Tree





Cinder and Diesel really love these. Only Cinder was willing to pose :)

Part Four- "Do it Myself Monday" Room Makeover Series




I'm back with part four! I decided I would go ahead and show you what I have done thus far. I still have one or two more key items to finish/find so once that is all completed I'll film a final video for you. First thing I did was change the position of the bed. I had originally thought blocking the window would be a bad idea but I was wrong. It gives SOOOO much more room to the whole area and really just makes everything feel fresh and welcoming.
I found this gorgeous reversible duvet set at T.J. Maxx for only $29.99. It's super soft and has the exact colors that I had in mind for the room.  A light grey with white and on the reverse side is a mustard like yellow with white. 
I picked up a black sheet set from Cynthia Rowley also at T.J. Maxx for only $24.99. I love how the black makes everything stand out. Finding the right accent pillows isn't always easy, but this yellow one fell right into my cart while I was at Target and was only $10 on clearance. The grey sequin pillow I had from a previous comforter set.



On the left side of my bed I bought something that I had been wanting forever. A glass DETOLF cabinet from IKEA that could display the pretty tea cups and figurines that I have collected. A small round wood table I already had makes a perfect nightstand, accented with a speckled glass vase I purchased from Michael's for only $4.99 and paired with TORKA dried flowers from IKEA to accent the black and yellow color scheme perfectly.


The IKEA bookcase I had on the other wall showcases perfectly on the other side of the bed. I took the old vintage mirror and turned it sideways, and then propped it up against the wall. This too opens up the room so nicely.  The accessories on this bookcase aren't complete yet so I will post pictures when I am finished.



And that's it for right now! I will be adding some more pillows to the bed as well as purchasing a new computer desk that will help the area be a bit more organized. I also haven't decided it I will refinish my desk or put something else there. Stay tuned though and make sure you check out my Youtube channel and subscribe if you haven't already :)
