Personalized Dog Collar Size Small

Learn how to make a beaded dog collar approximately 5/8” (1.6 cm) wide and anywhere from 10” to 16” (25 to 40 cm) long (size small) using seed beads and a .6 inch (15mm) standard plastic side-release buckle (just like the ones on most pet collars so taking it on and off is a snap). Please note: This "pet jewelry" was designed to be both comfortable and durable and should hold up to regular indoor wear but should not be used or relied upon as a restraint, or as a collar, you intend to attach a lead or restraint to for walks or any other purpose. While it looks like a loom project, this design is actually done with beading wire and bead stitching. In addition to detailed instructions for how to make the beaded dog collar, we also include patterns (both wide & narrow) for each alphabet letter and numbers 0-9 as well as some punctuation marks and lots of fun symbols so you can stitch in your pet's name or a funny phrase (such as “Santa's Helper” or “Throw The Ball!”), your phone number (in case they get lost) or even the name of your favorite sports team.
