Instructions
Use a tape measure to find out how many inches around your dog's neck is. Write this number down and add 4 inches to it. So if your dog's neck is 6 inches around your total would be 10 inches.
Cut your nylon webbing at the total inches you need from Step 1.
Light a candle and carefully burn both ends of the webbing where you cut. This will seal in the ends and keep the ends from fraying later on.
Unsnap the buckle so that it is in two pieces. One will go on each end of the nylon webbing so that it can be attached again when completed.
Slide one end of the nylon webbing in through the buckle. It doesn't matter which part of the buckle you use because the other piece will go on the other end and they will both connect.
Use a needle and thread or a sewing machine to sew the overlapping nylon webbing together. This keeps the buckle from sliding off.
Thread the other end of the nylon webbing through the other buckle. Sew the overlapping pieces of webbing together just like you did in Step 6. Your collar is now done and you can decorate it.
Use a hot glue gun to add plastic jewels to the outside of the collar. These jewels have a flat bottom where you can place the glue and then push on to the collar.
Add strips of ribbon in whatever pattern you like to the collar. Use the hot glue gun to stick it on.
