Craft Addict: DIY Pearl Peter Pan Collar Necklace

I'm really loving the Peter Pan Collar trend. I bought a couple shirts and dresses with peter pan collars and found myself wishing each and every shirt in my closet came with one. Then, I realized this was very possible! A Peter Pan Collar necklace! I'm aware stores like F21 and Nordstrom's sell metallic collar necklaces but I wanted something that seemed like it could be a part of the piece of clothing. And thus this project was born!

Let's get started!

You will need:

a piece of felt (about 8x10 - it needs to be big enough to be the base of the necklace)
craft pearls
craft glue, tacky glue, super glue
scissors
marker, sharpie
hole punch
ribbon
piece of paper

Step one: On your piece of paper, cut out the shape of one half of your collar. It should look sort of like a banana... sort of. You can print out pictures of your fave peter pan collars online and use those as templates, too!

Step two: Fold the piece of felt in half. Place the cut out shape on the crease and cut.

Step three: Unfold the felt. It should have the shape of an adorable peter pan collar!

Step four: Line part of the outline of the felt with glue and stick on the pearls. Do this in pieces until the entire edge is complete.

Step five: Next squeeze out lines of glue onto the felt to hold the pearls. I tried a couple different methods of glueing them on and found this to be the best one. Continue until all of the felt is covered.

Step six: Make sure there is a good amount of space at the ends of the collar. I didn't leave enough and had to pull some pearls off. Then punch a hole away from the edges.

Step seven: (Optional) I had a really fat ribbon so I decided to cut my ribbon in half to make it less bulky.

Step eight: Hold the collar in place where you want it and then measure the length of ribbon needed to keep it there (don't forget to leave excess for tying!).
