Dog Collar Tutorial

Hello!

I'm very excited to share this with you! The tutorial I'm reviewing today can be found here by Country Brook Design. The instructions were very easy to follow and it only took about 20 minutes start to finish!! I think I'm going to have to  make more...to my dog owning relatives, don't be surprised if you get one of these for Christmas :) And, did I mention they are so much cheaper (not to mention cuter) than the ones found in the store?

I made a Steeler's collar sized extra small, and a medium Iowa State collar. 

Cute huh?

Felicity and Greg didn't like it. I suppose cat collars will not be in my future.

This is definitely one to try for yourself!

Thank you, and see you next time!

I've had a pack of matching frames sitting around for quite some time now because I could never decide which photos to fill them with.

So, while I was going through my stash of 'reclaimed' fabric, I came up with this:

Beautiful, right? Sorry if I'm smug, but I'm really pleased with how this turned out. And it was probably one of the easiest projects I've ever done! 

You know those paper inserts they always have in store-bought frames? I just used that as a template by placing it on the fabrics and using a metal yardstick to use as an edge for my rotary cutter. A quilting square would work just as well, but getting it from the other room was much more difficult than making do with the yardstick... :) 

The background fabric is from various recycled sources (old shirt, pillowcase, pajama pants) and the lace is from an old curtain.  

I'd make a tutorial, but it's really that simple. No glue, sewing, nothing. Just cut, place and hang. 

Feel free to ask questions if you need me to elaborate more!
