Dominant Dog Collar (Standard Dog Collar)

I couldn’t find many collar-making methods that involve no sewing and webbing for big dogs, and this one alone has offset that.
Supplies required
- Rope, O-rings, clasp, Duct tape
- Scissor
If you have got a dog belonging to strong dog breeds such as German shepherds, Siberian huskies, Labradors, and Dobermans, this is one of the best things you can make for him.
Method
Cut a long piece of rope that you can fold into halves and attach clasps and still, it should fit snugly when put on.
Here is a detailed video guide:
Velvet Dollar Tree Dog Collar

If you ask me, this collar seems to best suit all small-sized cute dogs or brachycephalic dog breeds, or some calm dogs, but you can still give it a shot for your big guy.
Supplies required
- Dog collar (can use your dog collar or buy from the link)
- Velvet ribbon
- Iron-on letters
- Iron, Hot glue
Method
You have to measure the size of your dog’s neck and cut the velvet ribbon that long and stick letters on it, and in the end, stick the ribbon on the collar. Sticking will be done using hot glue.

Demanding but Rewarding DIY Collar

When I say it’s demanding but rewarding, I literally mean it. This is a temporary outfit sort of thing for your canine fellow. This is like super expensive dresses we occasionally wear.
Supplies
You can find all the supplies easily at home and on Amazon.
- Double-sided Tape 5/8, Double-sided Tape 1/2
- Collar Hardware, D-Ring, Webbing
- Poker, Crimper, Snap Set, Torch Lighter
Instructions
You just have to make a collar that uses snaps, you will be playing with strips.
Here is the detailed video guide:
Paracord Dog Collar

Ever done hair braiding? Then this art is a piece of cake for you.
Paracord strands offer you great resilience in terms of making patterns. You have them, you can braid them whatever way you like.
Supplies Required
- Paracord rolls of your colour choice
- Metal D ring or O ring
- A pair of scissors
- Buckle
- Soldering gun or Lighter or matchbox
- And dedication
Instructions
Like all the time, measure your dog’s neck and as per the size, cut, fold, and weave the paracord strands. You have to keep making loops until you don’t reach the targeted/desired size.
Here are a few videos you can follow, and apart from them, you can also search on YouTube for more and better designs.
Upcycled Dog Collar

The world is on a cycle of upcycling. These girls have left me astounded with their creativity.
Irrespective of your dog size, these two sisters are doing recycling with personal benefits: collars and leashes. So ready for upcycling? Let’s turn “used” into “unused”.
Supplies required
- Old belt, Scissor, Crimper
- Purse strap for leash
The better belt, the better collar.
Directions
You should know your dog’s neck size and cut the old belt that long. Shape the strap’s end like a triangle.
Here, you must have holes in the belt so you could sew a D ring onto it, which can be done with some thread and a needle.
Here is a detailed video guide, including the making of two collars:
Apart from collars, they taught leash-making without sewing too.
Handmade Leather Dog Collar for All Breeds

Leather products are known for enhancing appearance irrespective of by whom they are used or worn.
I have always liked leather products but never made one, and so might have you. Making a leather collar, and that without sewing and webbing is a great way to get a taste of the leather industry.
Supplies Required
- Basic leatherworking tool (there are a lot of leatherworking tools kits available on Amazon, just check what can fulfil your demands)
- Buckle, D ring
- A fat quarter of leather
Instructions
I don’t have anything to say except to ask you to take your dog’s neck size into account, and the rest is a lot.
Here is a link to the video of making:
Dog Collar from Old Clothes
If you want to make braided collars without paracord strands, then it is doable with straps of old clothes.
Get straps of different colours of your choice and get them hooked on something and start braiding.
Here is a video guide:
Dog Collar from a Tie (involves basic sewing with needle and thread)
The patterns you get on your ties can’t be found on dog collars. And moulding out a tie into a collar would be extremely fascinating.
Here is a quick yet enough article video:
Rhinestone Dog Collar
Have you got your dogs something to wear on Christmas day? If not, give this glowing collar to glow with the colours of Christmas.
Dog Scrunchie Collar

A scrunchie is a go-to thing for women, let’s make it for your Bella, too.
If you’ve got a cute puppy, this DIY collar is worth to be given a shot as a casual collar.
Supplies Required
- A fat quarter with ravishing patterns
- Tape measure, Scissors, Hot glue
Method
Measure your dog collar and cut a strip twice its length and twice its width. Hot glue the seams down and fold the strip into two halves so it could become a cover sort of thing. Turn it inside out, and pass the collar through, leaving both buckles out. Accumulate fabric around the nylon part.

At first sight, you can’t digest something like a collar that can be made with rolls of threads.
Supplies required

Final Words on Making a Dog Collar without Sewing and Webbing
When I was given the keyword “how to make a dog collar without sewing and webbing”, I was literally clueless about why have to make a collar without sewing and webbing.
So if this is just because you don’t know sewing and still make a collar to save some a few bucks, very few of the methods will align with you. The rest of them demand unusual supplies we usually don’t have at home.
Pretty important to bear in mind: make sure these collars get broken upon applying stress.
I learned a lot while making no-sew dog collars and I hoped you would have enjoyed it too.
Tbh, initially, I could not figure out why would someone want to make a dog collar without sewing and webbing.
