How to Assemble Your DIY Hostess Gift
Start by placing the kitchen towel in the bottom of your basket or tray. Layer in the pot holder, wooden utensil, and star-shaped cookie cutter to create height and texture. Add a small patriotic pinwheel for a fun and festive touch.

Why I Love This DIY Hostess Gift
One of my favorite details is the custom dog design on the kitchen towel. I chose a red, white, and blue patriotic theme, but you could easily personalize yours with a design that looks like your own dog or matches the recipient’s favorite breed.
It’s a unique gift that combines patriotic summer decor with a personal touch, making it perfect for dog lovers.
