First off, i couldn't sew a button on to save my life. I have 3 cockerels with homemade collars. I used the thick hemmed edges from an old towel and duct tape (neon green if that matters). Towel part on the inside, duct tape outside only. Collar is the width of the tape. There was some initial drama but now they're ok.
Tips: You should be able to fit medium sized woman's pinkie finger underneath collar but fit is quite snug. Watch them carefully for a while to make sure they can breathe, eat, and drink. Keep them in a small space at first because they will run backwards and crash. Adjust and keep adjusting. They will act like , "Why are trying to ruin my (love) life?" But they'll get used to it. If you've ever tried to dress up a cat or watched someone else doing it, the initial reactions are similar. Be safe and muffle your laughter.
