LWL-T108: Make a Simple Leather Dog Collar

Make a Simple Leather Dog Collar

In this class we will make a simple dog collar. Please bring the measurement for your dog's neck measured snuggly. We will go over how to attach the buckle, measure the length, where to put the hole spacing and how the thickness of the leather affects the end result measurement. There will be a guest star of one of my Whippets to assist us in testing out the measurements. We will also discuss different types of hardware, finishes, quality, and when to use stitching, rivets, chicago screws, and durability questions. Each student will leave with a finished plain black 1in or 3/4in dog collar at the end of the class.

All tools, leather, and supplies will be provided.

Prerequisites: None. This class can be taken as a beginner and all skills will be discussed and taught.
