here we share you a tutorial to make Easy DIY Christmas Dog Collar.

Tools and Materials
- To make a holly collar, you'll need: green felt, red fleece, 3/4" elastic, red bells and you’ll have to download this handy holly-leaf template . For a more simplified version, skip the fleece and the 3/4" elastic and use 1" red elastic instead. Other supplies include scissors, a sewing machine, needle and thread.

directions:
- Determine Collar Size and Sew
Measure your dog's neck. Cut a piece of fleece that is 3 inches wide and 2 to 4 inches longer than your dog's neck. (If your dog's head is much larger than its neck, add an extra 4 inches.) For dogs such as pugs and bulldogs, and extra 2 inches is fine. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise and with a 1/4" seam allowance, stitch the fabric down the length, stopping 1/2" from one end.

- Turn the Seam In and Add Elastic
Turn the fleece so that the seams are inside. Usually the easiest way to do this is to clip a safety pin to one end and pull it through. Cut a piece of elastic the length of your dog's neck and thread it though the fleece tube (use a safety pin for that too).

- Stitch Elastic Together
Overlap the elastic by about 1" and sew together with a zigzag stitch.

- Stitch Fleece Closed
Fold the unstitched 1/2" end of the fleece back on itself to create a clean finished edge, insert the other side of the fleece into the finished edge and stitch through all layers. This will secure the elastic and close the fleece casing.

- cut leaves
Choose the size of your leaves and cut them out of the paper, then the green felt. Use 2 or 3 leaves for your finished design, or you can double up on the leaves for a more substantial look.
