choose your leather in this case its brown bridle butt leather then get a strap cutter and set it to what size you decide it to be this one will be a 2 1/2" cut out your leather and shape you can use a stanly knife if you wish but have sharp blades or you will probably cock up the work

as i have my shape of the collar it has sharp edges
