If you have been a reader of Close to Home for any period of time, you know our dog Chloe is considered a fourth child. She goes everywhere she possibly can with us. Just this summer we planned our family vacation to Maine with her in mind.

Since she was a puppy, there was no question she was my dog. I had wanted a Golden Retriever since I was out of college and finally got my wish 6 years ago.

Despite the numerous hairballs around the house and her passion for other people’s food, I would not trade this dog in for the world. (now my kids I have offered to rent them out!)

 

How to Make Adjustable Dog Collar With Ribbon

 Now that the kids are back in school Chloe and I have more free time around the house. When I am not working she is following me around the house.

Looking into some super easy DIY Pet Projects, we decided on a new adjustable dog collar that was in the cards. 

What you need for this DIY Adjustable Dog Collar: 

•  Webbing like nylon, cotton or polypropylene
• Cute Grossgrain or embroidered ribbon the same width as webbing. 
• Pair of scissors
• 1 D-ring,
• Slide lock and plastic snap
•  Sewing machine
• Flexible measuring tape 

 

 

Step 1: Cutting the Webbing

Step 2:  Adding Ribbon 

If using ribbon, first sew this onto your webbing. You can use hem tape to place it on the webbing before sewing. 

 

Step 3: Sewing on the Slide Lock

Thread the webbing through the slide lock, leaving approximately a two inch piece of webbing to sew together. Sew two seams, up and down, across the webbing. Triple stitch these seams by using the reverse button on your sewing machine.

Step 4: Threading the Snap Onto the Webbing

 

 

With the fold of the webbing facing OUTWARDS, thread the webbing through the side of the snap that has the single slot. It is important that the curve of the snap is facing downwards, like in the picture.

Step 5: Threading the Snap Part 

 

 

 

Now run the webbing through the D-ring. Next, thread the webbing through the first slot and second slots of the other side of the snap.

Adjust the webbing so that there is a Three-inch allowance of webbing to be sewn. Move the D-ring between the two pieces of webbing.

Step 6: Sewing the Snap Part One

 

Take the snap apart and sew a seam as close to the snap as you can. Triple stitch this seam by using your reverse button on the sewing machine.

 

Step 7: Sewing the Snap Part Two

Move the D-ring close to the last seam you have sewn. Sew the two seams with the snap of the collar facing to the left. This will prevent the D-ring from getting hung up on the sewing machine foot when you are sewing.

 

Finished DIY Dog Collar

 Don’t you just love the preppy colors against her Golden fur? 

Another important factor we look for when buying All Natural Dog treats, is the Made in the USA Stamp on each bag. 

 

 

 

The first time I gave Chloe a premium Jerky Piece, she gobbled it up whole. I will be breaking them apart so they last longer in the future.
