As you can see, para cord dog collars can be really beautiful. With vivid colors, as well as the potential to be customized the way you want them, these collars are each their own works of art.

How can we customize a dog collar the way we want it?
- adjusting the length
- using colors we like
- choosing dog collar patterns we love
- choosing clips, buckles, rings and other ways of finishing a dog collar
- adding various decorations such as tags and charms to the dog collar

Why do we use paracord to make it? Why not some other material?
Well, to be short, the benefits of using paracord are the durability it provides (we are using paracord 550, which can hold 550 pounds. If your dog weighs more than that, get him a treadmill). It is also water and rot resistant (unlike hemp and leather, to some extent). Paracord is smoother on the skin, easy to work with and also quite affordable as well!

Below we will first find some decent paracord and various useful supplies, then move on to the crafting itself. We will learn various neat looking patterns along the way!
Enjoy!

The collar above is really easy to make. It is made from a cobra stitch/square knot used in many bracelet designs as well. Check out the picture below on how to attach your buckle and the video on how to knot it up! After that you are all set to begin your project! Remember to keep the knots equal if possible.

How to attach paracord to your buckle

Paracord dog collar instructions basics


You can see how paracord fits on the buckle easily enough. The length for your cord should be measured from the size of your dogs neck. I would triple it for the first try, then see how much paracord is left and adjust the length the next time when crafting.

This is a shark jaw bone pattern whose origin is probably linked to the author of Fusion ties (a book about knots, also shown at the end of this blog). The video below will teach you how to make the pattern.

Aren't these collars just beautiful? Notice that they do not differ much from bracelets at all.
