Every time I share a photo of the pups, the very first comments I see are always the same: “Where did you get those collars?” or “Tell us about those beads!” So today, I thought I’d finally answer the question that everyone has been asking.
Yes, those colorful beaded collars aren’t just accessories—they’re little pieces of love and personality made just for Chooch and CiCi. Each one is hand-strung with durable thread, using beads that reflect their quirky characters. For Chooch, I chose bold, earthy tones with a touch of fun—because let’s be honest, his personality is larger than life! CiCi’s, on the other hand, has softer pastels with a few sparkly accents, perfectly matching her sweet and sassy side.
What I love most about these collars is that they’re more than just stylish. They’re lightweight and comfortable, so the pups don’t even notice they’re wearing them. The beads are smooth and sturdy, meaning they won’t snag fur or bother sensitive skin. Best of all, every time we go for a walk, people stop us just to admire them. It’s like the dogs are walking around with their own jewelry line!
The truth is, the collars started as a simple craft project one rainy weekend. I wanted something unique, something that showed off their personalities while still being safe and practical. After a little trial and error, the first beaded collar was born. I never expected it to get so much attention, but now it’s become our signature look.
So to everyone who’s been asking—yes, you can make your own! All it takes are some sturdy beads, a good clasp, and a bit of creativity. And if you’d rather not DIY, there are plenty of small shops online where talented makers create similar styles.
For me, though, it’s not just about the look. Every time I see Chooch and CiCi wearing their beaded collars, I’m reminded of the love, care, and little quirks that make them who they are. Stylish, unique, and totally unforgettable—just like them.
