Some of you may know that I really don’t like to sew. I am not good at it and don’t have patience with it. But last month I was sort of forced to do a sewing project.
See, the girls (my dogs Annie and Galena – yes laugh at me…) had a photo shoot scheduled and I had ordered some pretty special bling collars for them. The lady promised me she can make and get them to me on time… But to make a long story short she totally ignored me and failed to deliver (so I won’t be recommending her business EVER – that’s what I get for trying out someone new)…
Since I had my mind set on bling collars I set out to make some fake ones myself.
I used tough elastics and made a fabric cover and sewed a snap on so it would be easy to put on/take off.
And because I am not good at this as I said, I needed something to cover the spot where the snap was sewn on. HAH – Stampin’ Up! came to the rescue! I used dies and the bigshot.. I cut several layers of the fabric in one run because it was a thick die!
I know the “faux collars” are not perfect by any means, but I am pretty proud of how they turned out and served the purpose well enough 
Here is a collage of some of the proofs we liked a lot and we already put in our order with the photographer – can’t wait to get them!
Don’t forget you can use your dies for projects like this! You can always add some to your collection from my online store!
Have fun crafting!
