Spring is here and I’m excited to wear lighter clothes! But do you ever get a little bit bored of your clothes? Sometimes I do and trying to keep within my shopping budget, I ventured out and made a detachable peter pan collar! I think this kind of collar adds a whimsical style to any piece and a retro vibe too. Both looks that I’m very much into.

DIY Peter Pan Collar No Sewing required Tutorial

Download and print the template for the peter pan collar. I used white leather to make mine and traced the outline of the collar onto the leather. Then with sharp scissors, I cut the collar.

The trim I used is made of suede and easy to handle to create the outline around the collar. I used super gel glue to glue the trim to the collar.

 

Going through my beads and accessories, I played with a few of them and thought of adding them to the collar.

In the end, I went for a simpler look and tried my new peter pan collar on a few t-shirts and a blouse.

The last step was to use a screw punch and make a hole at each end of the collar. Then I added ten inches of suede cord to each end so I could attach my new collar to any t-shirt, dress or blouse.

I had SO much  fun making my new collar! This craft is very relaxing and the best part is there is no sewing required! What do you think? Would you give it a try? I hope you do ;)

Happy crafting!
