When it comes to crafting and DIY projects, we often make things for ourselves or with our kids, but you can’t forget about our furry friends!It can be so much fun to make a customized accessory for your pet, especially when it has functionality that you need and want and maybe can’t find in the a storebought item.

Making your pup his or her very own collar can help their personality shine, and the best part is that it is so easy to make. Creating the basic collar is super quick. Customizing it is the best part, and that’s where you can get really creative and have fun with it. Making the collar adjustable is a great way to make a collar that can accommodate a growing pup.

Dog collars come in a wide variety of sizes and widths, as well as hardware. The width should correspond with your dog’s size so that they can be comfortable.

To do this, measure the circumference of your dog’s neck and multiply the circumference by 1.5. Make adjustments as necessary, making sure the collar will fit your dog properly without hurting them.
