So here's another collar. Now that the holidays are there, I finally have time to craft because I had to postpone many ideas :/

You Will Need (4 things)

  • black satin Ribbon
  • black Velvet
  • Foam Rubber
  • Hot Glue Gun

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    You start with a template. I constructed mine myself.
    Transfer it to foam rubber (colour doesn't matter), pin it on 2 fairly bigger pieces of velvet.

  2. 2

    Now grab your hot glue gun and glue the velvet onto the foam rubber pieces.

    Then glue the 2 pieces together in the middle ...

  3. 3

    ...then cover it with a satin ribbon bow.

  4. 4

    At last, I glued strings of t-shirt fabric to the ends. I've made the experience that t-shirt fabric is pretty elastic which means nothing will choke me and I have control over how tight it is, yet it is tight enough to stay in place. Also I don't have to buy necklace closures! I do this with all of my necklaces now.
