Step 1: Tools & Supplies You Will Need

You will need some sort or webbing like nylon, cotton or polypropylene, a pair of scissors, a D-ring, slide lock and plastic snap (which you can scavenge off of an old collar, and a sewing machine. The flexible measuring tape is only if you want to measure your dog's neck.

Good job! How thick/heavy was your webbing? I have used nylon webbing to replace a fake leather handle on a leash before and it was hard to get the tension to work to sew through the thickness. I have a Singer Touch and Sew, circa 1966 ish and I had trouble with the thickness, but eventually got it done.
