Before you head out to the next patriotic celebration, parade or picnic, be sure your fur-baby is dressed to show his patriotic spirit too. This Red, White and Blue beaded band is designed as a repeated motif that can easily be adjusted for any length of collar. I chose to attach mine to a blue adjustable nylon collar that is 5/8 inches wide, but you could also choose to use a leather collar.

On the pattern pages, I have provided you with:

• a full-color graph-style beading chart to create an 8.75 inch band as shown in the photo
• a full-color graph-style beading chart of a single motif of the pattern to help you adjust the collar length to your needs
• color key with suggested Delica bead colors and bead counts for the 8.75 inch strip
• color key with suggested Delica bead colors and bead counts for the single motif
• a color photo of the finished collar
• written instructions to help you attach the beadwork strip to the collar
• Optional Word chart is also available

Approximate Finished size:

As shown: 1/2 inch wide x 8.75 inches long
Single Motif: 1/2 inch wide x 3.4 inches long
