But you get many more options on 1/2" ribbon collars on Etsy, etc.

I love the Up Country collars (5/8") ... not bulky at all (I'm very picky about the bulkiness of the buckle, more so than the width of the collar).

Here he is in an Up Country 5/8 collar.

But most of the time, he wears his 3/4" collar tapered to 1/2 at the buckle. That's why I love leather collars because they can be tapered but you can still get width for the design w/o the bulky buckle.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance with making collars. I just have a problem buying them

We used up country bf the buddy belt.

Even on etsy the choices are very limited. I noticed lots of cute ribbon in 3/8" and was just really curious if I could make some of not and how. Any help or suggestions would be great. I also do not ever hook a leash to Callie's collar only to her harness the collar is just for tags.

I saw your post and would like to make one myself, I sew a little.....I found this tutorial and it looks perfect!

I ordered two pattern/tutorials on Etsy and just ordered some buckle kits online maybe I can start making some next week.

You can get a simple nylon collar, then make covers for them to change up the collar for season and holidays. That is what I do. I have bandanas and collar covers from scrap material
