So today I will show you how to make your own dog harness. Follow along with me and you will have a harness for your pet in no time!

Step one Cut two of the body pieces out. Cut a strip of fabric for the back, you will need one metal D ring or a keychain ring.

Step two Sew the strip on the back of the outside piece don’t forget to put your ring under it before you sew.

Step three Sew the front and back of the fabric together, with the wrong side out, sew them around the edge leaving a ½ inch margin leaving a hole to turn it right side out.

Step four Turn right side out using the hole you left open.

Step five Iron the fabric flat, so none of the edges are curling.

Step six Sew the hole you left open closed and edge and stitch all the way around it.

Step seven Sew the Velcro on the neck and waist.

Easy, DIY tie-dye shirt

 I will show you a step-by-step process, of how to tie die a tee shirt at home the easy way. We are going to do this a little bit differently than the traditional tie-dye method. So if your ready and up for a little artistic challenge, follow along with me!

_shirt

_spray bottles

_paint or fabric paint

_ rubber bands?

Step 1.  Get a shirt, ti tie-dye.

Step 2.  You will need some paints of your color choice. I recommend fabric paints for optimal distribution and wear.

Step 3.  You will need some spray bottles, to put the paint in. Fill the bottle 1/5 full of paint. One color in each bottle

Step 4.  Fill the rest of the bottle with water.

Step 5. put the caps on and shake,shake,shake. make sure the paint is all mixed in. 

Step 6. hang your shirt somewhere outside, (trust me if you don't want a mess you can't skip this step).

Step 7. twist the shirt and tie it with a rubber band, this will give you a spiral effect. (this is an optional step)

step 8. Spray the shirt front till you are satisfied with it.

Step 9. repeat steps eight and nine on back.

Step 10. Hang it somewhere and let it dry for 48 hours (indoors or out) before washing. 

Tip: The closer the spray bottle is the more concentrated it will be, the farther back it is it finer mist.
