The new trend has occupied the catwalks and store shelves. We have to admit: detachable collars came into fashion a couple of seasons ago. But such a peak of popularity was reached only this year.

Each eminent designer has included several types of these accessories in his collection. From an attribute of business clothes, he turned into an indispensable thing that can change the mood (of course, only for the better), attract attention (envious and admiring) and give the image bright notes. Who doesn't want to put a few of these wonderful things in their wardrobe?

Seeing the hype, manufacturers immediately launched the production of collars. The most popular products of firms: Lake & Liberty, DimePiece, Stern, Nauticoco, Gemma Lister, Eleven Objects, CeCe Toppings. The prices for products of famous brands are defined by the majority of the fair sex as "sky-high". In order not to be left on the sidelines of fashion, ladies arm themselves with needles, scissors and guns (glue, of course) and create fashionable collars with their own hands. Follow their example and you. If it worked for one, then it will definitely work for you. For decoration, you can dissolve the oldboring beads or beading and sequins from an old blouse. Or buy "hit" spikes.

Master class "Do-it-yourself bead collar"

You will need:

• felt 22 cm wide by 28 cm;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• glue;
• satin ribbon up to 60 cm long;
• beads, jewelry, gems, trinkets, studs (whatever you choose to decorate your collar with).

Step by step instructions:

1. To get a neat and even bead collar, first make a pattern with your own hands. As a basis, you can take any shirt or dress with which you are supposed to wear a collar. Draw the neck line on paper, and make the ends of the product (sharp or rounded) at your discretion.



2. Cut out both sides of the collar from the felt. Be sure to leave tabs on the front - they are needed to hold the two parts of the collar together.
3. Lay one allowance on top of the other, first applying hot glue between them. Don't worry, the connection will not be visible - it will be covered by decorations.



4. Now proceed to the most important thing - decorating. A do-it-yourself bead collar will look very dignified if you work hard and think over (lay out on a pattern) beads, beads and other materials in a symmetrical pattern in advance. Glue each decor element to the felt piece. If you are friends withwith a needle and thread, you can dream up and lay multi-colored lines both along the edge of the collar and between the beads.



5. Cut the satin ribbon in half. If you don't need the bow or if the ends are too long, you can cut the ribbon when the piece is complete.
6. At the edges of the collar, stepping back a couple of centimeters, make small cuts, the width of which should be equal to the width of the tape. Pass the tape through the slot. The length of the short end of the tape is no more than five centimeters.



7. Apply glue to the short end of the tape. Bend in the long part and press. Having securely fixed one tape, repeat the procedure with the other. All. Your handcrafted beaded collar is ready to go!
