DIY Sequined Collar Necklace preview

It's been raining here and I haven't had the chance to step outside at all, so today, I decided to show you how I wore my DIY sequined collar necklace! I took a few photos (using my webcam) to show you guys how the finish product looks like.  Here, I'm wearing a shiny, metallic silver top from Zara, a pair of Silence + Noise shorts, a silver bangle from Forever 21 and my collar necklace as my accessories. My outifit is so simple, but because of my collar necklace, it gives it that extra edge to it.  

Hope you guys are enjoying your collar necklace because I am!

DIY Collar Necklace

Materials:
Old button shirt with a stiff collar
Scissors
Decorations (optional)
Glue (optional)

Take your boyfriend’s old button up shirt with a stiff collar (one that he’s not going to use anymore). Make sure that all the buttons are unbutton. Lay it on a flat surface with the shirt showing the inside and cut the collar with first button and viola! You have your own collar necklace! You can decorate it by poking studs or other things if you want or leave it as is, either way, it’s cute!

So this is a fun DIY project.  I love my DIY collar necklace so much, so I thought why not bling it out! You can put anything on it, pearls, studs, etc! In my case, I decided to put sequins.  I found an old sequined tank top laying around and will probably never use again.  It was actually in my donation pile.  Anyway, so what I did was cut of the sequins one by one (which took so long, btw), like in fig 1.

After, I detached all the sequins (fig 2) from the tank top. Make sure you align how far where you want the sequins to be, so they look the same on both sides.

Spread the fabric glue at the tips of one of the collar and just sprinkled the sequins all over (fig 3).  Then I did the same on the other side.  Check if both sides have the same amount of sequins, if not just add some on parts that are missing.  THen you’re done! ** wait til the glue dries before wearing it!

I love this! I’m not going for the neat look at all.  I just wanted to have some texture on it, to make it stand out when I’m wearing it.
