Whether for a festive occasion, a photo shoot, or just to make your dog feel extra special, this handmade collar will have everyone smiling.
🌸 What You’ll Need
Before you start, gather these simple materials — you probably already have them at home:
- Fresh or artificial small flowers (like marigolds or daisies)
- A soft string, thread, or thin wire (make sure it’s safe and non-metallic if it touches the skin)
- Scissors
- A small needle (optional — you can tie instead of threading)
🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Flowers
Choose soft, pet-safe flowers. If using fresh ones, cut the stems short (about 2 cm). Artificial flowers work perfectly for longer use. - Make the String Base
Measure your dog’s neck loosely using the string. Leave about 10 cm extra so it’s easy to tie later. - Thread or Tie the Flowers
- If you’re using a needle, gently thread the flowers one by one through the base.
- If you prefer tying, simply tie each flower around the string using small knots.
- Space Them Evenly
Leave a small gap between each flower so the collar stays light and flexible. - Secure the Ends
Tie the ends of the string together gently, making sure it’s not tight around your dog’s neck. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under it.
🌼 Safety Tips
- Always supervise your dog while wearing the flower collar.
- Avoid toxic plants (like lilies or poinsettias).
- If you use real flowers, remove the collar after a few hours to prevent wilting.
💛 Why You’ll Love It
This simple collar isn’t just a decoration — it’s a symbol of love and creativity. Each flower you add makes it personal and unique. Perfect for seasonal photos, birthdays, or just brightening your furry friend’s day!
📸 Bonus Tip
Take your dog outdoors or near a sunny window for photos — the natural light makes the flowers glow beautifully. Add a soft blanket or wooden chair for that cozy aesthetic you see on Pinterest!
