Homemade Dog Collar

My parents, my brother and I might get a dog (keeshond), and I have been doing a lot of research for dog beds, feeders, etc... I found a lot of stuff that was nice, but all VERY expensive, or over what my brother and I are willing to spend on accessories and all. So, one day, when I had nothing to do, I came up with the idea of making stuff myself.

I thought of first making a dog collar:
First I chose a belt I liked but didn't use or would never use so that I could cut it up. One that I would like my dog to wear. The one I chose had buttons on it and a heart shaped buckle. I cut off a bit more of the belt that I wanted to use so that I could glue stuff on it if i wanted to. I hid the pin part of the buckle under the belt, so this way it only has one size, but I can make it have several. I passed one end of the belt through the buckle and glued it and TA-DA here is the collar.

It can be used as a nice collar to be worn around the house. And, when you want to take your dog on a walk, it better be trained, or you could just buy a collar on purpose for walks.
