I love to use the Paracord, because it is light and very durable. After reading this article, you will learn how to make a collar for your dog with your own hands using the Paracord and one of the species of the site (Seesaw Knot). This weaving technique can also be applied to make a leash for a dog, bracelet, belt, or something else.
Required materials and tools:
- Two paracord of different colors;
- vice (clamp);
- Castle buckle ("Buckle");
- D-shaped ring;
- scissors;
- tweezers or special medical clamp;
- measuring tape;
- lighter.
Determine the length
First, you need to measure your neck of your tailed friend. Determine the place on the neck, where the collar will hang, and remove the size. Add 3-4 cm so that the dog felt comfortable in the collar. To calculate the required amount of Paracon form for our work, multiply the size of the size of the dog's neck in this example is 45 cm. From here, you needed two Paracon dip shown by 1.8 m. (45 × 4 = 180).We start tolerance
