Decorate the dog!


As I drank my morning coffee, and surveyed my house imagining how I will decorate for the holidays, I couldn't help but notice how plain, and well, downright pathetic my dog looked in her collar that I made last year. It was well loved, and washed many times...but it was time for a replacement. What a perfect opportunity to decorate the dog! So I got right to work. here's Lacey in her new Christmas collar, made using the "CRAZY FOR COLLARS" book at YCMT. I recycled the hardware from the exising collar, and the fabric is a strip cut from the fabic I bought to make Chloe a corset top. So for me, the collar was free. If I made it from scratch it would cost around $2.00

So cute!! I actually have a dog collar/leash on my gift list for my SIL who just got a new puppy!! Of course I can't leave out my OWN dog.

Hi Carrie! First, what a CUTE dog! And I love what you did to use what you already had on hand - that is very resourceful! I can't wait to see what you make next!
