DIY: Mother’s Day Outdoor Cinema Picnic

DIY Holidays & Gift Guides 30 Apr

Happy Monday Pretty Fluffies! As promised I’ve got a stellar week lined up all in time for Mother’s Day 2012. Whether you’re a mum, a daughter, a fur parent or someone who just plain likes holidays, this project has something for everyone.

Throughout the week I’ll be sharing with you how to set up your very own backyard cinema just in time for Mother’s Day – including yummy homemade snacks, free printables and sweet treats to enjoy. So wherever you are I hope you can join me in snuggling up under the stars.

First up, how to set up your very own backyard cinema…

YOU’LL NEED:
- Strong Twine – I got mine from the hardware store and it was 1.6mm thick. You’ll need 5-10 meters depending on the size of your backyard.
- 1 x White Sheet (Queen size preferable)
- Picnic Rugs & Blankets
- Sandwiches, sweet treats & popcorn (more tips to come on the menu later in the week!)
- Beverages – Soda (the drink not the dog), sparkling water and champagne.
- Data Projector & Speakers – these are easy to rent or borrow from a friend.
- Small stool to place data projector on. I got mine from Ikea.

DIRECTIONS:
- Secure the length of twine by tying between two fences or trees in the backyard. If you don’t have anything to secure it to, try inserting wooden stakes deep into the ground and affix your twine.
- Iron your sheet and place over the twine – just like hanging out on the washing line!
- Set up your data projector on a stool approx. 3 metres away.
- Set up your blankets, cushions & movie snacks.
- Snuggle up and enjoy the show!
N.B. Fluffy dog to cuddle optional, but recommended.

DIY Doggie Easter Egg Hunt

DIY Fun & Sweet Things Holidays & Gift Guides 06 Apr

Who says Easter Egg Hunts are just for kids? Follow these simple steps and you can have a Doggie Easter Hunt for your pup this holiday!

STEP 1: Download the Pretty Fluffy Easter Egg Hunt sign below, print on an A4 sheet of card paper & place in your yard.
STEP 2: With your dog safely tucked away plant some of his or her favourite treats throughout the yard.
STEP 3: Release your pooch and watch them search for the yummy goodies!

DOGGIE EASTER EGG TREAT HUNT IDEAS:
Chewable Dog Treats
A small amount of Peanut Butter in a hidden Kong
Small pieces of Cooked Chicken, Cabanossi or Cheese
Carob or Yoghurt Doggie Easter Eggs (always remove foil first)
Liver Treats
Doggie Easter Cookies

HANDY HINTS!

  • If your dog has a ‘dig’ area or sandpit try burying some of the more durable treats.
  • Ensure the treats included in the hunt are allocated as part of your dog’s daily food intake.
  • Count the amount of treats hidden to make sure they’re all found and eaten! You don’t want leftover treats luring in other visitors to your yard.
  • If you’re having a children’s Easter Egg Hunt do it at a separate time to ensure no dogs eat the kids treats and vice versa!
  • Take your dog for a walk to make sure they burn off the treats and enjoy some quality holiday time with you.
  • Never feed your dog chocolate. This includes Easter Eggs!

Wishing you all a lovely Easter. xx
