I was asked to create a tutorial on how to braid a dog leash. I just completed it and thought I'd share it with you too.

It's up on my site and here's the link: Braided dog leash tutorial

Enjoy! :)

Oh and, any tips, comments, critiques are welcome, as usual. Always want to improve my work :)

Wow! Thanks Myriam! Great tutorial- it was pretty easy to follow. Only suggestion I have is when showing the strands weaving into the existing braid, tie a string or other marker on the side of the loop that was covered first. This would help identify it when the whole piece is turned to show the back.

Just a simple visual aid for those of us who got confused.

And as to your reason for the leash being so short......just say it's for husbands. :blink:

Myriam, great job there, I see you've got other tutorials as well, very good of you to do this. I like the way it's all layed out with the pictures and instructions in the bigger window.

Now I'm going to have to get a dog so I can make him a leash.

TwinOaks - Thanks, Mike. I took a look at my tutorial and I have a string attached, even though it's on the side that's just been braided. I reckon it's not really visible, should have used a contrasting color I guess. *takes note to use contrasting thread next time so it shows better* Thanks for the tip, Mike, and glad you like! :)

Beaverslayer - Thanks, Beaver. Glad you like it. Yup, now you gotta have a dog indeed, not other way around ;)

Gibbsleatherworks - Nice hands... well... thank you :blush: And thanks for the comments! :)

Leatheroo, Pip and SkipJ - Thanks! :)

For anyone interested, there is now a printable version (PDF) available for the dog leash tutorial. I'm uploading it on here and it's also available on my site, in the tutorials section.

Enjoy! :)
