Instructions
Small Dogs
Turn a lightweight bucket upside down. Pierce the bottom of the bucket with scissors. Cut a circle into the bottom of the bucket, large enough to fit over your dog's head.
Sand the edges of the bucket where your dog's head will fit to avoid injury. You may also use packing tape around the rough edges to create padding.
Puncture two holes, on the opposite side of each other, close to the neck hole in the bucket. Thread one shoelace through the two holes.
Place the bucket on your pet's head. With the shoelace around one side of your pet's head, pull the shoelace around the other side. Tie the shoelace in a secure knot, so the bucket will not slip off your dog's head.
Any Size Dog
Sketch a triangular shape on a piece of cardboard. Draw the sides of the triangle 2 inches longer than the length from your dog's neck to mouth.
Cut out the triangular shape. Fold the cardboard to create a cone shape. Cut the top of the triangle in a straight line, parallel to the bottom of the triangle, just enough so that the cone will fit around your dog's neck.
Puncture holes around the base of the cone, where your dog's neck will fit. Thread a shoelace in and out of the punctured holes.
Place the cardboard collar on your dog's head. Pull the ends of the shoelace together and secure with a knot for proper fit.
