DIY - COLLAR


Tried this little DIY collar even it doesn't look perfect and some details need to be fixed,
it looks kinda good!
The only thing I left out was to sew the edges of the collar and fix the pearls tighter ;)
The blouse was just to show you how it'll look when woren with sth light like my sheere blouse in this photo.
So how did I make this DIY-collar?

What you need:
1-) some thick fabric in any kind of material
2-) pearls (from any old necklace)
3-) black cord and a needle
4-) scissors

Now to the steps:
1-)draw sth like a half moon onto this material 
or print some templates from the internet if it doesn't work out
so:
 mark the fabric with a light pen, how big you want your collar depends on yourself
then 2-)
cut it out but not the middle section because there you'll fold it over and use this one side as
the template for the other side of the collar, so both sides are symmetrical
3-)if you have folden it then you'll line the sides of it like a template and then just cut this side also out and fold it out 
4-) sew the pearls either by hand or with a sewing machine
Thats all!

Hope you like it!
