What is a DogGrin Design Collar?
This self-finishing needlepoint collar is handcrafted with premium leather and brass hardware. It features a window displaying a hand-painted needlepoint canvas, measuring 6 inches wide by ½ or ¾ inch high. The design allows stitchers to create a collar for their “best friend” and complete it in a weekend.
How do you finish a DogGrin Design Collar?
To start, move the backing flap using a fabric clip.
- •Choose materials: Use any preferred color and fiber; wool works well.
- •Select a stitch: Use a simple tent stitch or any decorative stitch.
- •Secure the flap: Optionally glue the backing flap for stability; place a heavy object on it while drying.
- •Drying time: Follow the glue's instructions; we let it dry overnight.
And that's it!
