DIY: Detachable Collars!!!

 Hey there,
  Today I'll be doing a tutorial for detachable collars!! Yay!!

 Supplies: 
1. Sharp Scissors
2. Oxford/Collared Shirt 
3. Glitter, Fabric Paint, Needle and Thread, etc. (optional) 

Okay, to start things off, unbutton the shirt and lay it open on a flat surface.


Then, cut along the seam that indicates where the collar separates from the shirt.  Make sure the top button and hole are included when you cut!  If the shirt you're using isn't made that way, you should probably find another one (you can get a huge variety at consignment shops and thrift stores for super cheap).


After the collar is cut off, you can button it around your neck and wear it as it is, or you can decorate it.



Really, you can decorate it however you want, but here are a few ideas:
1. Sew or glue on buttons/beads/junk of different shapes and sizes
2. Sew on lace or ribbon trim around the edges
3. Paint on a design with fabric paint
