Pets are like family. There is no better feeling than to come home from work and be greeted by man's best friend. Our fur babies are there through the good and the bad and provide comfort and snuggles any time we need it. So today we want to focus on the special animals in your life.
At Plaid we are big pet people and we know you are too! Which is why we have compiled a variety of crafts that are fun yet practical for your pet.
If you are looking for more pet crafts beyond what we discuss in today's blog, make sure to check out our
entire pet section on our website.
Before we jump in, we want to let you know that this Sunday, April 11 is National Pet Day and we are so excited to celebrate with our friends at
Michaels in their Community Classroom. This Sunday, April 11 at 4 PM ET we will be doing a special Michaels class where we show you how to create this awesome pet portrait gallery wall.
