Homemade Dog Collar! :)

[Riptide]

After looking online for some cute collars for the girls, I decided that I would try and make my own instead of pay $75 for a collar/leash set, lol. My mom does a lot of sewing, so she had everything I needed just lying around in the sewing room (everything except the D-ring, that's why the pin is there -- I havn't stiched that part closed yet).

So umm...yay for collars! Please keep in mind that this is only my first try, lol, and I was only working with what I could get my hands on. The material only *remotely* matches the ribbon, haha.

The bright pink stuff is 1inch wide and made of cotten and the ribbon is...ribbon o.O

Soyay. Just wanted to show it off :D

[CathyBogart]

It's great!!

[DrKym]

Excellent! great Idea and real money saver too! :) Great job on it also!

[Riptide]

Thanks everyone! I have no idea what the total cost was, but I asked my mom to give an estimate (cuz she bought all the stuff, lol) and she said it only comes to roughly $6 (D-ring included, probably). So yes, a money saver indeed!

[Toby's my baby]

That looks great! That is a very good idea! Good job!

[Riptide]

Thank you! :D

[lizbud]

Wow, it looks great. I would buy one for sure. I have no talent for sewing
at all. Good job indeed. :cool:

I think you have a future!
Would be a nice business to do out of your home.
Cottage industry. :cool:

[BCollie_Kelly]

wow thats really good! Great Job!

[Flatcoatluver]

That is gorgeus! I would buy it from you! Make some agility collers, and you have yourself a business!

[Riptide]

I'm glad you all like it :D I just bought the D-ring, so it's finally complete...yay!

I also bought some new nylon and ribbon, enough to make a collar and leash set. I'll be busy tommorow, lol xD

[Daisy and Delilah]

Great job!! I love it! :)

I agree! Especially for sighthounds!

[Chica]

That is very good!!!Show some more when you have made them. Maybe you will sell them on PT. :)

[Riptide]

haha thanks guys :D I don't think I'm ready to sell just yet, but thanks!

[Kalei]

Wow you did a great job! You could make a living that way, making dog collars, if you ever want to, then I will certainly purchase one!:D

[BC_MoM]

Wow, that's amazing! :eek:

[GreyhoundGirl]

I agree! Especially for sighthounds!

Yes, I was considering making a martingale but mine are no good at all. (really, sometimes if ya need a laugh ask for the pic ;) )

Wow. Yours is really good. I can't even tell it was homemade. Better then the ones the pet store stocks.

Let us see! Let us see! :p



Seriously though, that is very impressive. I'll bet you could make some pretty decent pocket change selling those.

[Giselle]

Very nicely done! If you do ever sell them, make sure not to use cotton thread. It rots and the collars bust open (trust me, been there done that :eek: )

[elizabethann]

No way! You actually made that?! That looks like something I would see at a pet store! That's awesome!!

[Zippy]

Wow that looks great.It looks like you got it at a petstore or online.If you hadn't said you made it I would have thought it was made by a company.You could make them and sell them to all of us here on PT. :D

[RobiLee]

Excellent job!

[dab_20]

Wow... very creative, great job!! I LOVE the print and colors you chose... that's awesome! :)

[Kfamr]

LOVE your choice of ribbon. Great job. I've gotten the hardware to make collars before but never actually did it. :o

[Riptide]

Thanks again everyone :D

You guys are definately convincing me to try selling them...we'll see ^^

[Suki Wingy]

Nice! That's So much better than my homemade leashes.
