Felt is perfect for these bows because of how light weight it is. And of course it doesn’t fray, so no sewing is needed! You can either glue your bows directly onto the elastic or make them removable with Velcro.

    If I wanted to make these in several sizes to sell at a craft show is there any way to determine the 4 or 5 sizes most dogs would wear without having to go out and find 5 different dogs of variable sizes?

      As there will be such a huge variety you want to make them each long enough to fit a small span of sizes. I would check Amazon for something similar and see what their options are for sizes are on things that go around dogs necks. That will give you an idea.
      Good luck!
