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.

-Sew or fasten down with double sided rivets.

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