Homemade Dog Collar! :)

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

Man - Thats Really Good!!! I Like It! :d

It's great!!

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

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!

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

Thank you! :D

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

Wow! That looks great! I wish I could make that! Great job!

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

wow thats really good! Great Job!

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

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

Great job!! I love it! :)

I agree! Especially for sighthounds!

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

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

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.

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: )

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

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

Excellent job!

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

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

Thanks again everyone :D

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

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