Yarn- Bulky (5 or 6) Bernat Denim- Lava Wash 
              (This is a chunky Yarn, you can also use strand
                 each of a Red and White Worsted weight yarn.)

First measure your dog, cat, bunny or pets neck.


Ch 27 for a 10 inch neck - 
(to make larger or smaller add chs in increments of 4.)


R: 1 Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch, 
skip the next ch, 1 sc in the next ch, Repeat from * 5 more times for 6 shells,
 1 sc in the last ch, ch1


R: 2 - Working down the opposite side of the ch, 1 sc in the 1st sc,
 *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch (should be in the center of the last shell)

 do not tie off.


1st Tie - Ch 25, 1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar, 
join with a sl st and tie off.

2nd Tie - join yarn to the opposite end of the collar with a sl st, Ch 25, 
1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar,
 join with a sl st and tie off.

I cut off the loops from the plastic peppermints. 

Then I Hot Glued one in each shell center. 

The package comes with 9 peppermints, 

so if you need to make the collar larger you have a few extra.

Keep the collar on securely so dogs are not tempted
 to bite or chew on the peppermint pieces.

Happy Stitching!

Chihuahua Themed Christmas Wreath

My Daughter in law and her friend 
asked if I would like to make new Christmas 
wreaths with them. So we went to  Hobby Lobby, picked out a wreath and all the bobbles 
and ribbons to make them.

I Bought 3 ceramic Chihuahuas and bright
 colorful decorations and ribbon.

A Chihuahua Themed Christmas Wreath!

To make the Wreath, 

I purchased an wreath that was empty.

Then I used a lot of Hot Glue.

 I placed everything were I wanted it and just

 glued it in place.  Even the ribbon is glued on.

It is really easy, Just choose a them and let your imagination take over.

And a Lot of Hot Glue!

Here are the three wreathes we designed.

1. Ice Cream Themed

2. Chihuahua Themed

3. Cupcake Themed

It was so much fun.
