I saw the idea on someone's blog (I'm sorry, I can't remember who! If you are that person, let me know and I'll link you!), and that person got the idea from Pottery Barn I believe.
*Edited to add: I pinched the idea from Marie Thanks for the heads up girls, I couldn't remember where I saw this!
I took an old tin that once housed Boy Scout popcorn. I then sanded it, painted it, and added "dog treats" in rub-ons.
Simple, cheap, and eco-friendly!
I put the tin inside of a cool basket my husband bought me. When he was out on tour one time, he happened upon an Amish boy selling handmade baskets. I love it!
Sammi, Kola and Cissy like these all-natural peanut butter flavored treats.
Sammi says "yum!"

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for it, but it was Marie over at Watch the Wind Go By! Your tin is adorable. I love how it turned out. Also, thanks for all the great comments you've left. You always have such nice things to say!
Chris is right, it was Marie. I like the smaller version of it.
Ah, too bad you didn't do this earlier because just last week, I took my boy scout tin to the recycle center because I was tired of looking at it after a year. Plus, I know we'll be getting more soon as popcorn sells start this weekend!
Did you prime it first or just spray paint it?
What a great idea - love it!
Thanks for the heads-up girls!
Gwen, I didn't prime it. That would be too much work. I just lightly sanded it with fine grit paper and sprayed it. It was quick and easy. I have a ton of tins from previous holidays. I may do the same, but not use for dog treats. I may use for something else, like bath soaps, gifts, etc.
What a cute project!
You did a great job on that! I too want to copy that idea from Miss Marie... very cute!
I stumbled upon your blog today and love it! That dog treat tin is so cute!!
That tin is SUPER cute! We have two labs and I love the simplicity of it...
So so so cute!! I love this, and I loved Marie's too. Makes me want to copy you! :)

Cute...I love Marie's ideas...she originally got it from Ballards Catalog. Your blog is soo cute. cherry
So cute! It turned out great. I love your basket tray with the books and reed difuser too!
I love the tins with words on them. It is so cute and fun for dog biscuits! Love it! What great ideas!

Love the dog tin, I might be able to do that!
I also am not a chef, and have a brown thumb (not a green one).
Very cute idea that seems easy for me!
Hey girlie! I am back to comment on this again because I went to Hobby Lobby and Michaels today to get some rub-on letters and they don't have anything nearly as cute as the letters you used for the dog treat can! I SO want to copy you but can't? Do you happen to remember where you got those? Thanks!! (And I will be posting the pumpkin dip recipe today too!)

Your doggies are sooo cute!!! I love them:) Great Blog:)
I loved this idea when I first saw it. I'm glad you made one so that I can remember to put it on my to do list. It looks great!
super cute!
Great idea too, super cute! And I've so been looking for a basket like that for our kitchen! Love it!
Very cute. I remember Marie making one of those. I'm keeping it in mind for an after Christmas project. Darn, that just means I'll have to eat all the popcorn that comes inside:) Must know who the touring husband is? Would I know him??
