This is a great homemade gift for any pet lover, and it's easy enough for kids to make with a little supervision.

Pet Treat Photo Frame

Craft Supplies:

dog biscuits, kitty treats or other favors to represent the animal you will feature in the photo (for a bird, how about small seed bells, or other bird toys)

acrylic paint- any color

fine tipped marker
