This is one of my favourite DIYs yet. I was going to get myself a detachable collar on ebay, then figured I would save my pennies and make one myself. It's really not that hard...
All you need is a shirt and scissors! I asked my Dad for one of his shirts, which he knew he wouldn't wear again - he has hundreds of work shirts!
1. Open up the shirt and lay it down flat.
2. Find the neckline seam, and use it as a guide to cut the whole collar off. Be careful not to cut the neckband in the process.
And that's it. See - I told you it was easy! Now for the fun part :)
You can 'decorate' your collar however you like, but I chose to stud mine. Yes, I'm loving the studs at the moment, it seems!
Will you be trying this out?
Great idea! I'm going to hunt an old shirt out now! xx

Can't believe I've never seen this idea before. It's genius!! I always wear jumpers and think, this would look nice with a nice shirt underneath but never have any decent ones with collars! So this is perfect (: xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, super easy! I might try this with one of my boyfriend's shirts.. x
