What do you do with Mighty Dog dog food Cans?
My little dog Joey is 16 years old and is losing his teeth, so we had to start a new feeding
system for him. After going through quite a few different dog foods he settled on Mighty Dog.
They are a perfect size and I couldn't throw them away.
But what should I do with them?
Here is my solution
First clean the dog cans and be careful of the sharp tip on the side where it opens
I learned the hard way.
Get some floral marbles, glue gun and cans ready and glue the marbles to the bottom
of the can.
Now you need some polyfill, fabric scraps and rubber bands.
Stuff the polyfill in to the square fabric and use a rubber band to hold the bottom corners together
Cut the excess material off and hot glue the bottom into the can.
Now just get your trim, buttons and charms and
Decorate!
Handmade flowers and Angel Pins
Wonderful Gift items
I will have some of these available for purchase in my
Artfire shop

Mighty Dog was the favorite of our dog too. It's the best -- if smell is any indication!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. This is something that I don't think anyone would have thought of.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use small pet food cans as the base for your very cool pincushions. Smart of you to add the weight to make these really functional. Nice work!
