Friday Fetch: DIY Collar Bling

Posted on September 9, 2011 by Ammo

diy dog charms I’m an individual, which means I like stuff that sets me apart from the crowd (How many super hero dachshunds do you know?). So when I came across this DIY tutorial to make your own bling for your collar, I knew at some point I’d be begging someone with hands to make me something cool to wear around my neck!

This tutorial from Jenny Ryan in the Good Dog Magazine gives you details on how to use Sculpey clay to sculpt, then bake, some bling for your own furry friend. Seriously, this is so simple I’m wondering why I didn’t think of it!? You can check out the full tutorial.

So, now the question is, who’s going to make me some super hero bling?

Friday Fetch: Bow Tie

With Easter just around the corner, lately I’ve been thinking about my “Sunday Best”. And that’s when I remembered my pal, Buddy!

Buddy’s mom not only make’s totally awesome collars (which both Trooper and I wear everyday!), but she also makes totally pawesome bow ties. I’m seriously drooling over the Aqua Honeycomb one!

These 100% cotton collars include a matching snap on, movable and removable handmade bow tie.

You can fetch one just in time for your Easter Best at SillyBuddy for $40.

Silly Buddy

I’m a pretty trendy guy. I wear a fashionable raincoat when it rains. I have a classy harness that I wear to work. I sleep on a dog bed* adorned with funky robots. I even have a super awesome stunt helmet and cape.

So when my mom said I could pick out a new collar, it came to no surprise that it had to be pretty awesome. I mean, I have a reputation to uphold. I’m not just going to wear any old thing around my neck.

Then I found it! The perfect collar! From a small online shop called Silly Buddy I chose the Maroon Sprout Collar. As much as I love my new little sprout collar, I can’t help but wish I had one of each of the designs from Silly Buddy. Maybe mom will let me get one for all 365 days of the year! I know, keep dreaming. At least I’ll be dreaming in my awesome new collar.
