Mom helped me come up with a fun holiday garland to decorate my home with this year. I figured can’t hurt to make my home extra festive, because you never know what jolly round fellow might be stopping by in a few days!

Step 1: Using your Electric Drill, drill holes through the pre-existing hole marks in your cookie. You can alternatively use an awl to push holes through them – but this method tends to crack the cookies easier.

Step 2: Spray paint your cookies a fun and festive color.

Allow them to completely dry before moving onto the next step, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Thread the bakers twine through the back of your cookies. A toothpick may be helpful to push the twine through them.

Step 4: You will want to knot the end of each piece of twine near your cookie so that it won’t slide around on the garland.

Step 5: If you choose you can tie some festive ribbon onto the bakers twine. Then hang and enjoy!

Had I know this Cookie Garland was just for looks and not for nibbling I might not have been as excited to make it.

Despite the red spray paint I can still smell the cookies underneath, so make sure you hang your garland out of reach of any furry friends! Mom says it might smell good, but they won’t taste good! Ammo the Dachshund

This diy was inspired by the following halloween decorating tutorial.

I’ve been posting a lot this week about the new Polka Dog Line at Target, and I couldn’t help but squeeze one more post in about them this Friday – because I found the icing to my cupcake!

Via the A Bullseye View Blog I found a DIY recipe for Healthy Sweet Potato Treats for your furry friend. And never one to pass up a good cookie recipe I wanted to share it with everyone! Not to mention this is super easy to make and only requires two ingredients – the perfect start to your weekend for you and your dog.
