Do you have a dog,or does someone you know have one? We have a fun collection of DIY projects for you & your furry friend today – DIYs, just for your dog! Did you know that you can make your dog or puppy their own custom-created collar or leash?
It might surprise you to know that there are a couple of popular different types of materials to use for collars or leashes, depending on which would be best for your pup. We’ve found you leather ones to DIY, paracord collars and leashes, canvas and fabric ones and more. Even a couple of DIY projects, so you can create them a comfy harness to wear, while you have your best friend outdoors, enjoying the day!
Most of these DIYs can be done confidently by a beginner. If you a new to sewing or working with leather, try asking a friend who does crafts and DIY for a bit of advice before you start. This likely will save you some time & also encourage you about your potential for doing this project. There are a couple of projects in here that would be more ideal for someone with more intermediate DIY skills. But we think you’ll be pleased to see that most can be tackled by beginning DIYers!
These projects are super fun for families to do together, especially if you’ve just adopted a new pet. Or for your kids (younger kids will need supervision), to do to create for their pet. Learning to take care of a pet is one of the reasons most families choose to adopt one, and DIYing them special items such as a collar and a leash is a fantastic way to show just how well you take care of your puppy.
So, let’s get started. Happy DIY-ing!
