Our new home is still a work in progress, but we’re getting there, one shopping trip and DIY project at a time! Our walls are still bare, so I figured I’d start decorating the house one small space at a time. I decided to start with the mud room area since it’s a less overwhelming space compared to something like the living room.
We have a built in boot bench near the entry by the garage, which comes in handy for our shoes, bags, and coats, but we still needed a smaller space to hold our keys and the dog leashes. I’m notorious for always misplacing these items, so having a designated spot for them seemed perfect!
I remembered seeing some cute mason jar flower vase wall holders on Pinterest, so I decided I’d run with that idea and put together a dog treat and leash holder that I could hang on the wall by the boot bench! Believe me when I say I am NOT the crafty/DIY type AT ALL, but this was so easy and anyone could do it!!
I love how this dog treat and leash holder turned out in our mud room entry way and even more so, how functional it is. Did I mention that dogs love it too!? Now they get treats more often since the treats are always in sight!
This is the perfect DIY project for pet owners, and even if you don’t own a pet, you could always use the mason jar as a vase and the use the hooks for your keys! Check out the easy tutorial below!
Can you tell Brees was eagerly awaiting the completion of this so he could have one of his favorite holiday treats!? BLUE Santa Snacks® are a hit in our house! 
DIY DOG TREAT AND LEASH HOLDER:
What You Need:
– Wood plaque or wooden pallet (craft store find)
– Home script wooden letters (craft store find)
– 2 hooks (your preference in style)
– Screws
– Wood glue
– Heavy duty twine
– Chalk paint
– Foam brush
– Drill
– 3″ pipe clamp
Step 1: Paint your wooden plaque and accent piece, then allow to fully dry.
Step 2: Once wooden plaque is dry, glue accent piece onto plaque using wood glue.
Step 3: Measure out where you want the mason jar and hooks to be placed, then mark it.
Step 4: Loosen the pipe clamp, then drill the back side of the clamp onto the wood.
Step 5: Secure the mouth of the mason jar into the pipe clamp.
Step 6: Drill the hooks into the plaque using a power drill.
Step 7: Fill the mason jar with your pet’s favorite crunchy dog treats, then hang!
Having the treats right next to the leash makes it so convenient to reward the pups for doing their business outside when they’re supposed to!
Brees is always a good boy, so he gets a treat every time he comes inside now and he knows exactly where to look for them!
Seriously though, how cute are these!? These BLUE Santa Snacks look and smell like human treats! They’re baked with holiday spices like cinnamon, along with oatmeal, barley, pumpkin and flax seed, so no wonder they smell so good!
My dogs are obsessed with these treats, but I don’t mind since they’re made with only high quality, natural ingredients!

We have two dogs at home and they’re absolutely adorable! It would be so nice to make this for them so we can easily spot their leash and give them a treat on the way out or in.
Reesa says
Oh wow this is so cute! I would love one of these! I feel like I never have an organized place for my dog’s stuff!

Excellent idea! We have a siberian husky and she loves her treats. We also have a two year old daughter that loves giving her treats. This would be an awesome way to get those out reach of the toddler so our dog doesn’t end up eating way too many at a time! And your home is gorgeous!
