So, I saw a post on fellow craft blog Design Sponge to make your own DIY statement necklace. A sucker for anything shiny and crafty, I naturally couldn't wait to make my own.
A few months ago I bought some vintage Rhinestones from a lovely lady called Anne at Pretty Vintage Rhinestones. This online Aladdin's Cave is a craft-lovers paradise - the perfect place to find that obscure something you're looking for but just can't find anywhere! Anne was the first person I thought of to help me with my craft project, and as always she didn't disappoint.
To make my statement collar I glued my hand-selected rhinestones to a piece of felt, cut around it closely with scissors, and stitched to a length of satin cord which I had doubled over and twisted together. I sewed a button to one end of the cord for fastening.
Ignoring the rhinestone that dropped off on my desk this morning (nothing a little dab of glue couldn't fix!), I would say that the first outing of my handmade statement collar was a success! White shirts and pastel colours are a match made in heaven. Let me know what you think.
It looks lovely Han, well done!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Han as always. You could sell these commercially
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! I wear a lot of collars, and I'm always looking for ways to dress up my wardrobe.
