How to make a pet collar from a coin

If you’re looking for a unique way to make a collar for your furry friend, why not try turning a coin into a stylish accessory? Not only is it a fun DIY project, but it’s also an affordable option that lets you personalize your pet’s collar with a design that reflects their personality. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a pet collar from a coin, step-by-step. With just a few tools and materials, you’ll be able to create a one-of-a-kind collar that your pet will love to wear. So let’s get started! 

Step one 

First, choose a coin that you like and that suits your pet’s personality. Maybe your dog loves playing fetch, so you could choose a coin with a design of a dog catching a ball. Or perhaps your cat is a fan of napping, so you could pick a coin with a sleeping cat on it. Or you could just reach into your pocket and find that lucky quarter you keep around. 

Step two 

Once you have your coin, you’ll need to flatten it. This can be done with a hammer and a hard surface, such as concrete or metal. Place the coin on the hard surface and use the hammer to gently tap it until its flat. 

Step three 

Next, measure your pet’s neck and add an extra inch to allow for the collar to be fastened. Cut a strip of fabric or leather to this length and about an inch in width. You can use any color or pattern that you like, as long as it complements the design of the coin. 

Step four  

Fold the fabric or leather in half and place the flattened coin at the center. Use a needle and thread to stitch the fabric or leather together around the coin, making sure it’s secure. 

Final step 

Finally, add a fastener to the ends of the collar, such as a buckle or a snap. This will allow you to adjust the collar to fit your pet comfortably. 

Voila! You now have a unique and stylish collar for your furry friend. They’ll be the talk of the park with their new coin collar, and you can feel proud knowing that you made it yourself. 

Making a pet collar from a coin is a fun, affordable and creative DIY project that adds personality and style to your pet’s accessories. It’s a great way to show off your pet’s unique personality and bond with them. So grab a coin, some fabric or leather, and get crafting!
