Get Creative

Creating things from scratch is so rewarding. And if it’s something for our pets,.. even better! With a little bit of imagination and a few things from around your house or craft store you can make something your pet.

Here at Get Creative, you will find a featured monthly craft or recipe for you to try! Don’t have your own pet? How about making it for a neighbor? Or maybe even the animals here at the Providence Animal Rescue League. Good luck and have fun for the animals!

July's Featured “Get Creative!”

Make your pet feel like part of the family with a pet place mat

The perfect craft to help keep the floor clean around their food dish!

What you'll need:

  • Inexpensive white vinyl place mat
  • Black "Painters" paint marker
  • Red "Painters" paint marker
  • Bone shaped stencil, die cut, or cookie cutter
  • Letter stencils for your pet's name
  • Pen

    • How to make it:

  • Use the pen and the letter stencils to write your pet's name along the bottom of the place mat. Using the red paint marker, trace over the pen lines.
  • Trace the bones around the rest of the place mat with the black paint marker.
  • Let the paint dry.
  • Place your pet's food and water dish on top of the place mat and let them enjoy!

    • Tips:
    You can use any colors and shapes to decorate your pet's place mat…maybe a paw print stencil! If it is for a cat, use fish stencils or draw on a ball of yarn. Be creative!
