-Using 5/8”W circular hook-and-loop fasteners worked best for this project.

-For the gifts, treats, and activities, you can stuff the holders with a Scribble Scrubbie Pet, CRAYOLA Crayons and so much more. Add a cutout or note for a larger gift or DIY holiday craft idea to make together using craft supplies from prior days and projects.
