Dog collars is one of the most important thing to consider especially you as an owner wants your dog to be identified and protected. Creating a custom dog collar for your beloved pet would guarantee an exceptional personality. Some dog owners would be amazed on your custom dog collars, and even need your help in making one for their dogs. Enumerated below are the following steps to create a custom dog collar.
1. First, you need to use a tape measure to measure the neck of your dog. Never do tight measuring. Two inches on each sides should be included in the measurement. So, if your dog’s neck measures eight inches, add two on each sides, and that would make 12 inches all in all.
2. Make use of the figure in order to cut out the suitable length of nylon webbing.
3. The ends of the nylon webbing strip should be melted with a candle flame. This is avoid fraying the ends of the dog collar.
4. Get the buckle, unfasten it so you will have two pieces. Place one on every side of the nylon webbing so for you to visually see how the collar would come together.
5. Begin on the left side of the nylon webbing strip, and thread one of the end through the selected hole going into the buckle. Fold it over so the nylon webbing would now overlaps by itself.
6. Since the nylon strip has overlap pieces, seam them altogether. Actually, you have two options on how to do this: you could use of a good old-fashioned thread and needle, or a sewing machine. After that, your buckle is now more secure.
7. Repeat the same procedure. Just follow the steps 5 and 6. Slide the webbing to the hole of the buckle, and stitch all the overlapping webbings to secure the buckle itself.
8. Purchase several plastic jewels with flat backing in any craft shop in your locality. Use a hot glue gun, and design the collar with jewels. Glue the back of the jewels and attach them onto the custom dog collar. Use your own creative. Wait for the glue to dry up before you put it to your dog.
9. Pick some patterned ribbon that you can add to your custom dog collar. Cut the ribbon and make sure that it fits the collar, attach it with a hot glue gun.
10. Now, after drying up the glue, you can now let your dog wear it and see how beautiful you have made.
With the procedures mentioned earlier, you will be a unique and custom dog collar right away. You and your beloved dog will be glad with it.
