Collarettes

Directions

1. Cut the collar off the shirt being careful to stay as close to the seam as possible but without cutting into the neckband.

 

2. Spread the fray block glue along the bottom seam. It will dry clear on most fabrics. When dry, trim loose threads and fabric.

 

3.If you want to use the button to open and close the collar, then make sure your new button fits the hole and replace the old one. Or you can sew Velcro in place of a button for easier access and then you can add a bigger button or other decoration to the front.

 

4.Decorate with trims and/or embroidery to your heart’s content! These can be sewed or glued with the permanent washable glue.

 

[The collarettes are designed to fit loosely around your dog’s neck and are not intended for leash attachment.]

Materials Needed

  • Shirt with a collar the right size for your dog. It should be 3"- 4" bigger than the exact neck measurement. You can find different sizes by using children’s, women’s and men’s shirts. It must also have a neckband. That’s the piece that joins the collar to the shirt and allows you to cut it off in one piece.
  • Some kind of glue that is made for preventing fray. There are several kinds available in sewing and craft stores.
  • Another kind of glue that creates a permanent fabric bond and can be washed.
  • A special button.
  • Small piece of Velcro tm.
  • Assorted trims and decorations.
  • Embroidery floss.
