Designing necktie ribbon

I work full time as a graphic designer, and usually that means creating logos, brochures, business cards, websites, and other marketing materials for companies. But sometimes ribbon or textile projects come along—always a fun diversion. One example is this custom ribbon for Bella Bark and Meow. The company requested designs that resemble neckties, and after whittling down a pile of options, here's the final result. If your pooch studies at an Ivy League university, leads board meetings or plans to run for office, these are just the thing. Find these preppy dog collars here.

  1. These are adorable! Would look nicely as a belt (on humans), too.

  5. So cute! I wish our dogs could wear them, but pugs aren't supposed to have collars. Any chance of harness versions?

  9. I was really interested in buying one for my cat. I thought the "Bella Bark & MEOW" would mean they would have some cat items... wrong. There's like A cat bed. I like the collars though, they're really adorable. My kitty Ian would've looked quite sophisticated with one... :(

  12. Stephanie, sorry! Bella Bark and Meow doesn't sell ribbon by the yard; just ribbon already made into stuff.

  15. A brilliant idea, congratulations!
    My welsh terrier runs the house here so I think, given his position, he deserves a good looking collar-tie like one of yours

  16. Their website also sells $350 crystal encrusted poop bag holders...

  17. Because you wish you could wear a necktie collar, or because you wish someone would buy a $350 poop bag holder for you? I wonder how much it would cost to bedazzle a toilet. Hmm.

  18. According to Google, you can get a bedazzled toilet for the low, low price of $25,000.

    It makes that poop bag holder look like a steal in comparison!
