We have a new dog. She's a 4yr old Miniature Schnauzer, and she is an absolute princess! Taking that into consideration, she deserves a collar to match her award winning personality. I typed in "rhinestone pink dog collar" into Google to see what it would come up with... this is what I stumbled across.
And I thought to myself... I can do that.
So I went shopping: choke chain for $1 and 18 feet worth of pink ribbon for $2 from Walmart, a package of split rings for $2, a poodle charm for $3, and three large lobster clasps for $1.50 from Hobby Lobby.
I have less than $10 in this project and TONS of left-over materials for additional creations!
So we begin.
I measured the clasp and chain parts (including one of the large rings) alongside Phoebe's current collar. I marked one link longer than I figured I would need (now, I am extremely grateful I did). I had my husband cut the chain.
Now, with my newly-trimmed chain, I attached the clasp to one of the split rings and attached it to the end of the chain.
Next, I began weaving the ribbon through the chain. Once I had woven through the entire length, I tied off the ribbon and melted the knot with a lighter. Repeat on the other end.
Attach your chosen charm.
Easy as that!
