If you've been following our paracord projects, then you know the Cobra weave is one of the more popular weaves. For this paracord dog collar, we are going to take it one step further and do a King Cobra weave!

King Cobra: You weave it the exact same way as the regular Cobra. Start with the blue cord again. (Start with the same color cord you started with before to keep the color pattern consistent.)

This weave is super strong and even adds thickness and padding to the original cobra weave, making the collar more comfortable for pooches of all sizes. Loop the red cord under and through the blue loop.

You can make other things using paracord. Check out all of our paracord posts here:

In this video, Sea Lemon share tips that will help to make DIY paracord dog collar for a medium and large dog:

The tutorial below is done for a large dog, so our collar ends up being a whopping 20″! If your pup is smaller, you can follow this simple rule to calculate the amount of paracord you'll need: 1.5 feet of paracord for every 1 inch of your paracord dog collar.

Beyond its awesome looks and customizability, a paracord dog collar is waterproof and resistant to rot. Plus, if your dog outgrows its collar, you can recycle the cord and turn it into a survival bracelet!

  1. Excellent tutorial. I love the finished product. Thank you for posting this! I made one for my sons dog, but the d ring gave me fits. Your idea looks much better. 🙂

  2. Where could I find a strong buckle, in store? I bought the dog collar buckle from hobby lobby and I can pull it apart with my hands. My dog is 70+ pounds!
    Thanks!

  3. Well done! I just made my pooch a great new collar following your well laid out instructions and it looks awesome. Thanks!

  4. I just made one for my chocolate lab. Came out awesome! It took no time at all. Love it! Thanks for the wonderful instructions & pictures!

  5. they mentioned nothing at all about how many extra inches to add to your base measurement before you make the collar. So just a heads up to those who havent tried this before. If your dogs neck is say 15 inches around, and you measure out 15 inches as was shown in this indestructible it will be TOO SMALL because as you weave the cord it becomes very thick, and soon the measurement that means anything will be the INSIDE of the cord, not the outside. So that once 15 inch length you thought you measured out so well suddenly wont fit your dog because it’s now an inch or two too small. So before you go ahead and try to follow this thing keep that in mind, and add an extra inch or two to your base numbers. A King Cobra weave is apx 1 inch wide when done, the basic cobra is 3/4 of an inch. good luck
