Dog-gone presents!
Dec. 6th, 2006 11:47 amI have NO idea where to ask this...so I figured it's a crafty thing...sorta. Heh, and ya'll are smart people, so you might know where to direct me if you can't answer.
I bought some toys for my girl's mum's dogs and cats. What's a pet friendly way, but also creative way to wrap them? I wanted to make it so the dogs could open their own gifts but I don't want them eating the paper. I know the cats could care less so it's not such a big deal.
I was thinking a really thin fabric they could tear apart (they're big dogs and they take apart stuffed toys all the time), or am I being too ambitious? Or is it a bad idea to teach them to rip up packages...
For those of you with animals out there how do you wrap your animal's gifts?
AND to keep to the subject of the community for this Christmas I managed to make for people:
-Votive Candle holders with drawings of women on them and naughty limirck's I cut from a book
-My sister is getting earring holders I made out of plastic mesh, picture frames and a picture behind the mesh so that it shows through
-Christmas Cards! Which was one of the most tedious things to do...not sure if I'll ever do THOSE again
I've still got to make a few more things for my girl but this is the first year of actually making presents...so I think I'm ahead. :D
