"Brave" Pet Collar





I've come to the conclusion that our little kitten is just like,  Merida from the movie "Brave". So with that I decided to make a "Brave" pet collar. It is so adorable on her! I'm actually surprised I found the "Brave" fabric. I knew then I couldn't pass up on making this for her.




You will need:
Brave fabric
An old collar ( unless you prefer to get the items and I'll let you know what those are)
D-rings
Slider
Webbing (ex. Nylon)
Snap



Start out by cutting the webbing to your pet's most comfortable length. Nutmeg was 8 in. So we added 7 more and that worked out perfectly. If you have to cut the width down you can alway burn the edges slightly so it doesn't fray. I did my collar to about 1/2 an inch.

Now its time to cut the fabric. I made the fabric twice as long in width so I could fold it in and sew it. To make it easier for it to stay in place while sewing I ironed it to leave the crease in place. Then sewed two lines length wise straight down.

Here comes the tricky part or at least for me it was. I thought it would be simple since I had made bow tie collars before but I guess for me it wasn't.  Here is a great tutorial to get you there fast http://m.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-An-Adjustable-Dog-Collar/.
I decided to add a cute little bow to her's but it's all of up to you.


Have a great week everyone!
