Pet ID tag

You will need these supplies to make one dog collar with a stamped metal name tag:

1/2 – 2/3 yard - 1" polyester webbing, depending on the size of your dog
1/2 - 2/3 yard woven ribbon
1 - 1" plastic center-release buckle
1 – Nickel d-ring
1 – Nickel o-ring
Blank circle charm
Pliers
Metal stamps
Hammer
Permanent marker
Thread, scissors, measuring tape, pins

Step one:

Start out by measuring your dog's neck. Add 10" to that measurement. Measure and cut your webbing and woven ribbon to that length. Heat seal (run a flame quickly across) all ends to prevent fraying. If you are not working with 100% polyester materials, apply Fray Check instead.
