What plastic ornament size will fit a small gift?

When I was looking for ways to put this gift together, I could not find much information about what size ornament a small gift will fit into. I found that a 4.75-inch ornament was a good size to fit a tennis ball, treats, and leash for this gift idea.

How to Make a DIY Dog Ornament Gift

Begin by measuring around the plastic ornament with ribbon. Run the ribbon all the way around the ornament just above the lip where it connects with the other side.

Hot glue the ribbon down. Be sure to not glue where the ornament shuts. I recommend gluing the ribbon to the side of the ornament without a lip so it closes easier to the other side.

Use more of the ribbon to create a bow to glue on top of the ornament. Let everything dry.

Using a permanent marker, write the dog’s name on a treat and let dry. Press the treat onto the top of the bow by securing it with hot glue. Let dry.

Embellish the ribbon with additional decorations, bows, buttons, etc. Add gifts such as treats, a tennis ball, a plush toy, a chew toy or a new leash. Close up and place under the tree. Note to not let the dog eat the treat that has permanent marker on it.

Dogs love receiving great gifts this time of year and now you can give them something extra special.
