AKA help feed a broke college kid?
I'm going to have quite a bit of time to myself come this summer and I've decided to try my hand at upcycling leather collars (i.e making leather collars from thrifted leather).
Today I had lots of time on my hands and really wanted to try to make one. But alas, my school is in the middle of nowhere and after calling every store within 15 miles that sounded remotely crafty, I managed to get my hands on a leather punch and a few (not really intended for leather) rivets. It was lots of fun, albeit my "masterpiece" definitely needs tweaking, so I went ahead and ordered some real deal supplies offline which should be arriving in the next few days.
Anyhow, this was my very first result and I hope to improve as the summer goes on and once I get some legit supplies:
Would anyone be interested in buying one of these off of me for cheap once I can get started so I can improve? I'd probably just ask for the cost of supplies + a few bucks shipping - right now my best guesstimate would be that it'd come to $7-$12 per collar give or take to anyone in the US.
If so, I'd definitely be able to custom do length to suit your dog. Color would be a bit more of a gamble based on what I can scrounge up, but black and brown were in major supply today and I managed to also find red and white. Width would be about the same, but I found everything ranging from 3/4 inch to 1.5 inches today
Any interest? I'd appreciate it!
