The flower of the cactus is seen as a symbol of endurance. It is also associated with a strong, burning, maternal love. What better symbol to wrap around the collars of our Fur-babies. Let these flowers remind you of the bond you share.

The collar motif is designed to be repeatable to create a band suitable to your personal needs. The colors can also be easily changed to suite your tastes. It can easily be attached to a 5/8 inch wide collar.

On the pattern pages, I have provided you with:

• a full-color, graph-style beading chart for the beaded band as shown (5/8 inches wide x 7.5 inches long)
• a full-color, graph-style beading chart for a single motif of the pattern to help you customize your finished collar
• color keys with suggest Delica bead colors and bead counts for the band as shown and the single motif
• a color photo of the finished collar
• instructions to help you attach your band to the collar of your choice
• optional Peyote Word chart is also available
