Preparation of paracord
You mustpreshrink before using the paracord. For the preshrink paracord, put it in boiling water for 5 minutes and then hang dry.To determine how much paracord you need for your project, take the measure of your dog's neck and multiply by four. An example of the extent of his neck is 18 "X 4 = 72". So you need two strands of paracord that are each 72 "long.
STEP 1 - Put the cable and D-ring on the snap
Bend the wire in half and pass eachEnd of the snap that has the single slot. Now run the D-ring through the ropes and placed near the play. And 'now the end of the rope through the rings of the cord, which protrudes at the bottom of the snap. Tighten the cable
STEP 2 - Power of Snap
Clamp the snap on a stable surface like a table. This will keep constant snap and you'll be able to form on the wire when you put nodes.
STEP 3 - The first node
ARocker node, the node will alternate half hitch knots. Take the first set of strings, take it behind the second set of ropes and through the loop you just created. A little 'pinch nodes. Do not overtighten or the node begins to turn your work.
STEP 4 - The second node
Now you're in the second set of cables and make half hitch in the opposite direction. To proceed you take the first set of rope and a knot in the same direction as you do with itNode 1 hold knotting in alternate directions until you get to make a knotted rope five centimeters less than the final measure. Do not forget to consider the snap, if your measure. Stop at 16 knots. "
STEP 5 - Connect the cable to snap loose
Run the two wires until the end of the double slit cable and leave work an inch long power cord from the end of the node.
STEP 6 - Expansion of the rope ends Part 1
Take a line from each set,then run to the front and top of the loop on the back of collar.Lay strings that do not create the knot on the back of the collar flat. Tighten the knot as it goes.
STEP 7 - Completing the rope ends Part Two

Repeat with the second set of cables. Do this"Back" node again. Now stretch your neck with your hands and cut the cord as you can close the collar.
STEP 8 - Melting The rope ends
* NOTE * Plastic heat is dangerous and can burn very badly! Be careful when melting the cable end!
Take the lighter and set the flame as close as possible to cut the strings. You really need to be nice and warm. If the cable ends are brown and champagne, take the scissors and press the flat side of the heatCable for the collar. You may need another pass with the lighter, if not properly protected the cable.
