Hand Made Items For Your Fur Baby!
Prim, Proper, and Pretty Collar Wraps & Accessories
Collar Wraps
We should technically call these “slips” not “wraps” as we make Collar Wraps to slide over the color quickly and easily. But, the category we keep coming up with is “Wrap”. So it is what it is.
We love to sew, and we love to dress up my 7 fur babies; which is impossible to do when paying department store prices for items made by machines in bulk and marked up 150%. So, just like everything else in our lives; if we can’t afford it, we make / create it. So after a few design ideas, including velcro that was very difficult to line up) we finally found an idea that works well, and is easy to use.
After we created them, we realized we could go further, and make them attachments for their collars. This was great fun, as we have many critter models in our home; some who love being photographed, some who hate it but do it anyway.
Each Collar Wrap is equipped with a small piece of hook n latch (Velcro) – Soft Side (as not to scratch anyone). This is so you can order and affix any of our Collar Wrap Accessories to the collar wrap. We glue these on, so if you want to remove it, it is just a matter of heating up the glue enough to remove it. That is also why you should hand wash and hang dry these items if you want to keep it attached.
We have tested the strength of our collars / accessories attachment with puppies sticking their heads out our windows at 55 miles per hour, and the ties stayed on. (results may vary on environment)
Regular Collar Wraps
Above, Isabeau, 6 months
We make collar wraps in 5 sizes, from kittens to big dogs. They are easy to install; just slip them over the collar. We have many different colors and fabrics to choose from, most of which are limited edition; meaning once that design is gone, it is not likely we will restock that specific fabric.
Regular collar wraps are couple inches longer than the longest collar in it’s category, to allow for it go slide over the buckle.
Wide Collar Wraps
We created these in order to “show off” the fabric a little better. Regular wraps are great, but for those of us who Really like to stand out, we created these.
They are about 1.25 inches wider than the regular one, with a sleeve down the middle for the collar to slide into.
They are also much longer than the regular ones, so they can “bunch” together creating the look of pleating.
Any fabric you see on here is also used to make ties and bows, in case you want to match the wrap with the accessory.
It is VERY important to measure your critter correctly, and order the right size collar / wrap.
The safest way to measure your dogs neck size is to use a string. Loosely wrap the string around your critter’s neck, then pinch where the string end meets the string. Measure the string and add 1.5 inches to get collar wrap measurement.
IMPORTANT: Your critter’s collar should NEVER be too tight to slip off over it’s head. This is a serious choke hazard!

Accessories
Ties
We make 3 different kinds of ties to attach to my collar wraps:
Dapper Ties, available in 3 sizes
Bow Ties, available in 5 sizes
Lacy Bow Ties, available in 3 sizes
Each tie is affixed with hook n latch (Velcro) rough side to attach to the collar wraps. This also makes it easy to store, as this side of the hook n latch will stick to almost anything.
Dapper Ties

Yes, even kitties can look good. Star lets me put all kinds of pretty things on her. She is also a great model.
She loves to roll around with the ties on and get them off. A great way to look good and have fun too. When she can’t get it off and tired of trying, she just leaves it alone.

CoCoa is a Diva, and loves when peole make a big deal of her pretty collar accessories everywhere we go. She Loves attention.
We make regular bow ties, for both male and female critters; but we also make Lacy Bow Ties for the more feminine type of critter.
Girls like superheros and comics too! So, we created some bow ties with lace; so even our ladies can show off their "nerd".

Neckerchiefs & Leash Wraps
For Both Dogs & Cats!
Above, Squishy, 11 Years Maine Coon Mix Pretty Girl Loves Attention!
Neckerchiefs have been around for a long time! I see these on critters everywhere, so we decided to create our own design and market them. They come in the same fabric choices as the Collar Wraps and Ties.
These are double layered with a slot sewn down the tie so your collar will fit somewhat snug, and you can “bunch up” the fabric to look pleated.

and photographed.

We created these to complete the look of your fur baby. They come in 3 different sizes, with hook n latch (Velcro) on top, so the leash wrap won’t slide down.

Standing out is great, but sometimes simple is better. Many of our clients order a solid colored Collar Wrap, and then order a number of different colors of ties to go with it. If I don’t have the color you want, drop us a line and we will look into stocking it. These are the colors we carry consistently throughout the year.
Cotton / Poly fabrics are great for the summer months. They are light weight and come in many great designs. Keep checking back with us to see the new monthly designs!
Here’s where we get into “bling”. Glitter fabrics either have glitter woven into the design, or printed on. The fabric is more costly, but our oldest dog, CoCoa, is a Diva, so we got more feminine fabrics for her; and it’s worth it. She (we) gets compliments on her pretty collar wraps everywhere we go.
Specialty fabric is a bit more expensive than regular poly / cotton fabrics. The reason for this is usually because a special design is “painted” on the fabric after it was created. A good example of this is our Stargazer collection. Both Stargazer fabrics (Stars or Planets) have metallic paint printed on them for the stars and parts of the planets. These are Beautiful, rich colored fabrics, and my personal favorite.
These are licensed fabric I have in stock. The most expensive fabric, we usually only purchase this when a client specifically asks for a certain kind of fabric, or when we can get it on sale.
During the football season, we will purchase fabric for requested football teams, and post them here. We usually stock teams requested by clients, which usually ends up being the top 3 teams in each division by the playoffs. Once the Superbowl is over, we will not restock until the next year, and will sell off the current year’s fabric and anxiously wait for next year’s season.
If there is any other team (even from another sport) you would like have a Collar Wrap made from, let usme know, and I will find it.we
