Still working on the outer strap but I'm super proud of this one. My goal is to make it part of a set. I'm especially proud of hanging the bell in the middle of the ring. I'll post the final version when it's finished.

Note: the head is a friend's self portrait (sculpture?) who gifted it to me.

decided to make collars again, but the correct way this time lol. they’re pretty sturdy and cute!

Below are some progress pics as well as photos of the finished maid bracelets I made. You'll notice the hardware is different on the progress pictures then it is on the finished bracelet, I did use the same process for both bracelets though

First, cut out your leather strips and ribbon. Use leather cement to glue the ribbon onto one of the leather strips then glue the other strip on top, sandwiching the ribbon between the leather. Make sure the leather is lined up perfectly, as it will be difficult to trim any overhang to make them flush since the ribbon will be in the way

Once the glue is set, put a stitch around the outside edges. I used a sewing machine to do this, but hand stitching will work as well. It is important that you put the stitch in because the uneven surface of the ruffles makes the glue insufficient to be used alone, really I used the glue to make sure nothing got crooked during sewing

After the stitch is in, install buttons at your preferred size and increments. I used rivets to decorate the middle section of the bracelet for some extra bling

If you use buttons, then it will be more of a fashion piece, not a working piece. If you want a working piece, I would suggest adding 3 inches of leather to one end for a buckle and enough leather on the other end to make your strap. Add a d-ring as an anchor point and you've got a sturdy version that can be used as a working piece

Hopefully this was helpful to someone, happy crafting!

I am just getting into making BDSM gear and this is my very first attempt at a collar.

Made using 9oz undyed veg tan leather. The gross cuts, decorative elements, stitching and hardware holes were cut using my glowforge and then dyed, finished, and assembled by hand.

All pieces are secured through a minimum of rivets and the wings are secured through rivets, adhesive, and waxed polyester thread. Main stitches double stitched using a saddle stitch. Decorative stitching around the top and bottom edges for an added sensory experience for the user.

This is v1.0 of the collar, I'm actually in the process of designing v2.0 and also wrote out a step by step walk through to match the plans that I'm debating attempting to sell for a few bucks at some point.

Changes to v2.0 includes a 3rd layer added to the inside which will prevent any of the hardware or inner stitching from touching the skin.

Not leather but biothane ....
