Steps to make a dog collar without sewing
What you’ll need
The materials you will need for this project are:
– 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide webbing or ribbon
– Ruler
– Scissors
– Pen or marker
– Fabric glue
Measure the size of your dog’s neck
The first step is to cut out a piece of fabric that is the same size as your dog’s collar. If you’re not sure how to do this, measure your dog’s neck circumference and add an inch or two for overlap. Make sure the collar fits snugly, but not too tightly, around your dog’s neck.
Stitch buckle using hot glue
Get some hot glue to use as an adhesive and glue the buckle to the center of your fabric. Make sure it’s in the right spot before you start gluing! The alternative which you want to avoid here is sewing.
Fold fabric over:
Now, fold the fabric over so that the raw edges are hidden and stitch around the entire perimeter of the buckle using a needle and thread. This will keep the collar from unraveling.
Attach leash:
To attach the leash, simply poke a hole in the fabric near the buckle and thread the leash through it. You’re all done!
A word of caution: This DIY collar is not meant for intense pulling or chewing. If your dog is a chewer, you may want to consider a more durable option.
