DIY "Puppy Chow"

Hey, it's Lexa!! Here is  DIY "puppy chow" mix you can easily make at home!! Go here for the link!! One small change we made was using almond butter instead of peanut butter, but it's just as good!! Another change was we heated almond butter and chocolate chips and butter on the oven until it was melted, which is one healthier way to do it, but if you are in a rush, the microwave will work fine.

What you need:

• Tulle, cut into 6-inch strips

Steps:

1. Cut the elastic so it fits around your waist, and sew it. You could also tie it or safety-pin it if you can't sew. 
2. now tie some tulle on it 
3. After you have put tulle around all of it, you're done!!
