Homemade Dog Collar
A good way to recycle old belts is to turn them into dog collars. Measure your dog's neck, then add 3-4 inches to the measurement. Cut the belt to the appropriate length, rounding the end. Make new holes using an awl and a hammer. You could decorate the collar with rhinestones, buttons, etc.

If it's a skinny belt you could make cat a collar, too ;-)

Why didn't I think of that?! It's a great idea! And I love the part about decorating it too. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

Tip: Homemade Dog Collar
We adopted 2 puppies in July. They were (and still) are growing so fast that we found ourselves buying collars nearly once a month. I was going though some old clothes to give away, and found a suitcase that I had put some belts in. Idea! I cut one of the belts down and punched a couple new holes in it and put it on my dog, Kayla. If you don't have any belts lying around, check out your local thrift store, garage sales, etc. Decorate according to your taste, gems, old costume jewelry, studs and even fake fruit for that Carmen Miranda look! Let your imagination go WILD!

RE: Homemade Dog Collar
WOW great tip. I have two doggies and the little yorkie kept chew the Jack Russell's collar and we
went through quite a few for six months. I am sure this tip will save money for others. I am going to
use some old belts to make a few collars for my doggies so they can be dressed properly. (10/31/2006)
