Some pet parents can be hard to shop for this holiday season. This adorable DIY leash hook for their homes will be a huge hit among the gifts they’ll receive. You can customize this gift with different hardware pieces, wood stains and paint to fit the style of who you’re gifting this to.
Paint can be toxic for pets, so it’s best to use dog-safe paint. Washable paints designed for young children work perfect for pet paw prints.
We attempted to use a dog paw print for the DIY leash hook and had a little bit of difficulties—like paint paw prints all over the wood floors. Thankfully, the paint was washable so the cleanup was easy. A paw print stencil or stamp may work better for you.
Once the paint is dry, you can start with installing the leash hook and mason jar to the wood.
