Flower Dog Collars

I decided to make a few fabric flowers, inspired by Emily's Little World.

I thought the fabric flowers would be a cute way to embellish my dogs' collars.

To save money, I created each flower using fabric scraps.

Although I made these for my dogs, you could follow Emily's tutorial and embellish anything that you like; such as accessories for your hair or clothing.


I attached each flower to their collars using my glue gun.


Such a simple way to transform a plain collar into a cute one.


  Because every dog deserves a cute dog collar...right?! 

*ETA-  After washing the collars(in cold water), I would recommend using some fray check to keep the edges crisp.

Miranda said...

Just found your blog from YHL. I have been looking for something like this for my little girl dog and never thought to just hot glue something to her collar. I have been wanting to make her something cute and girly to wear because she is NOT into dog dresses. HAHA! I also have a small male dog who I would love to do this for too but instead of flowers I was thinking bowties! Thanks for the great idea!

Tamsyn said...

These are so cute!! Your dogs are the definitely the best dressed one's I've seen all week ;)

I'm helping my sister do up her girls' room soon. I think there will definitely be some of these flowers somewhere in there!

Ha! So cute! Sophie would love to look so pretty. Unfortunately, since Bruce arrived, I think he'd rip it off and eat it in two minutes! Great idea. Your pups are stylin!

Brandi,

This is so so cute! I would put one on my cat, but she's probably find some way to destroy it. I really love the last one. What a cute dog with a cute collar!

Very cute! I have a male dog, but if I had a girl dog I could see myself putting one of these on her.

A dog collar is a must-have accessory for pet owners. No matter which ever design you go for, you always keep notice that the collar provides comfort to your pet and for this, you need to know the exact size of your dog's neck. This can be done by measuring the neck with a tape and by placing two fingers between the tape and the neck.

Paul Cohello said...

I love these. I 'm looking forunique dog collars and leashes for my lab, Chainsaw. I think he needs something a little more masculine though! Still, bravo.

Holly and Sean said...

Thanks for linking up Brandi!! I am in love with this cute, easy craft. In fact, my poor doggie boy is probably going to have to suffer the embarrassment of rocking a flower collar. Oh well LOL.

Have a fabulous weekend!!
