{DIY} Shirt Collar Necklace
Recently saw this idea on a Dhar Mann video from YouTube and had to share it with you all because I'm literally obsessed! It's a creative idea which finds a new use out of old collared shirts. It's simple yet stylish; a great way to reuse what we have left in our wardrobes or from thrift store finds!
_________________________________________________________
You Will Need:
• Collared Shirt
• Seam Ripper
• Thread and Needle or Sewing Machine
• Button (Scissors), Snaps, or Clasps
• Embellishments (Examples:) Decorative Buttons, Beads, Sequins, Gems, Embroidery Patches...
Instructions:
01.) Using a seam ripper, carefully remove shirt collar from shirt.
02.) When the collar is removed there will be two sides, a raw side and clean side to the collar. With matching thread to fabric (as close as possible) hand sew or use machine to sew raw side. Fold raw edge to create a small seam allowance much like the clean side. Pin down raw side if needed when sewing.
03.) Next, sew a button, snap, or clasp to the top left corner flap of the collar. Cut a small hole for a button and sew edges or place other snap/clasp on opposite flap corner (inside facing neck) so the edges connect.
04.) Now comes the best part! Decorate as you wish using your imagination. Even leaving the collar as is can always make a statement to your outfit! Possibilities for this easy necklace idea are endless! First, iron the collar if possible so decorations adhere better. Then glue or sew embellishments to the jewelry piece.
