Making personalized decorations are a great way to celebrate your pup on the Christmas tree. These ornaments are a lovely keepsake to get out every year to remind us of our lovely dogs. They also make a precious gift for friends and family.
These are a fun activity to do with the whole family. They’re easy enough to involve the kids and can be decorated however you wish.
