Collar + Leash
Intro: Collar + Leash
Great DIY pet sewing project for all skill levels! They make for a great gift! Make your pets matching collar and leash sets for every occasion! What are you waiting for! Hope everyone has fun with this sewing project!
STEP 1: Supplies
Webbing: 2 yards (pick width that best fits your pet)
Buckles: 1 (match webbing width)
Webbing Slide: 1 (match webbing width)
D-Rings: 2 (match webbing width and 1 smaller one for tag holder)
STEP 2: Measurements
-Measure around your pets neck.
-Add 3-4 inches to neck measurement.
STEP 3: Cut Collar Webbing
-Cut webbing for collar.
-Remember to add 3-4 inches to length.
-Light webbing ends to prevent fraying/unraveling.
STEP 4: Webbing Slider
-Add webbing slider to webbing.
-Slide slider 6-7 inches down webbing.
STEP 5: Add Buckle
-Feed webbing from the bottom. Start going up through the outside opening and back down through the inside opening.
STEP 6: Back Through Webbing Slider
-Pull webbing end out 5 inches after feeding though buckle.
-Slide webbing end up though the outside hole of webbing slider.
-Feed end back down though inside opening of webbing slider.
-Pull end out about 2 inches.
STEP 7: Stitching
-Stitch webbing end down 2 inches from webbing slider.
-I recommend zig zag stitch or very tight tac stitch. Make sure end is securely fastened down.
STEP 8: Adding D-Ring
-Add D-Ring to opposite end of buckle.
-Slide webbing end though the remaining buckle opening from top to bottom.
-Pull webbing end out about 4 inches and roll the end over for clean finish.
-Make sure D-Ring is placed in the middle of webbing end and buckle.
STEP 9: Stitching D-Ring
-Stitch on both sides of the D-Ring.
-I recommend going back and forth a few times. This will add a nice strong stitch.
STEP 10: Adding Tag Holder
-Grab D-Ring that is smaller width than the webbing.
-You can either use smaller webbing or leather strips to fasten down D-Ring.
WEBBING OPTION
-Cut 3 inch strip of webbing.
-Feed D-Ring on strip.
-Roll webbing ends over for clean finish.
-Sew webbing strip onto collar.
LEATHER OPTION
-Cut leather strip.
-Punch holes in leather.
-Feed D-Ring on strip.
-Fasten to collar with double sided rivets.
STEP 11: Collar Finished
Collar is complete! :)
STEP 12: Cutting Leash Webbing
-Cut leash to desired length.
-Add 12 inches to desired length for handle and eye snap attachment.
STEP 13: Add Swivel Eye Snap
-Feed webbing though swivel eye snap opening.
-Pull out 4 inches.
-Roll and tuck end under 2 inches.
STEP 14: Stitch Eye Snap
-Stitch in box or X formation.
-Make sure you stitch down really good. This end will be taking a lot of strain.
STEP 15: Leash Handle
-On the opposite end of leash. Measure down 8 inches and roll end over.
-Roll end over 2 inches for clean finish.
STEP 16: Stitch Handle
-Stitch handle down in box of X formation.
-Make sure you sew over the rolled end for maximum strength.
STEP 17: Leash Clip Holder (Optional)
-Cut leather or webbing strip.
-Place directly under handle.

-This is a quick and easy way to clip extras items to leash.
