How to Make a Strong Braided Dog Leash
Use twine that is smooth and hard, not hairy. It should be about 1/16th of an inch thick. You are going to braid eight pieces of this twine together, so you don't want the cord to be too clumsy to handle. A round braid is usually made of four strands, but four double strands will be much stronger; and that's what is recommended. Cut your twine into eight 6 1/2 -foot lengths. Tie them on a doorknob or on the back of a chair, knotting them together. These strands will make a six-foot leash. Important: To make the explanation simpler, we are going to speak of each double strand as if it were just one single strand. In the pictures, you will see that the strands are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Take hold of Strand 1 which is on the extreme left. Move it behind Strand 2 and Strand 3. Then bring it forward and fold. Hold it there with your left hand: Then take Strand 4 which is on the extreme right. Move Strand 4 behind the two strands that are now next to it. Then bring Strand 4 around over Strand I. Strand 4 will then be between Strand I and Strand 3. Keep repeating this process. First use the strand on the left side, then do the same thing with the strand on the right side. Braid slowly and tightly. Smooth the strands out often so that they don't get tangled. When you have completed your braid, slide it off the doorknob and knot the ends so that the weaving doesn't unravel. Now you can tie one end of this nice strong leash to your dog's collar, and tie the other end into a big knot to hold on to.

Dog Collar Craft : Stuffies Need Bling Too - This craft was completely child suggested . I asked my son “What do you want to make today?” and he grabbed “Pup Pup” and “Little Puppy” and said they needed collars like his aunt’s (real) dog has. The only deliberate direction I through in was to make the collars in the shape of a diamond, since we often don’t find that shape and it seemed like a good opportunity to use and reinforce it.
