D.I.Y: Glitter Peter Pan Collar

(this is my first D.I.Y , be a little kind =P)
These cute peter pan collars are everywhere and I'm sure that they are here to stay! they combine innocence and glam perfectly!
Here is a very easy version of the peter pan collar with an extra dose of glitter for under 2 dollar ( 100 INR).
So ,what are you waiting for?
GO ahead and DO IT YOURSELF!

what you need:

-Fusing
-Any thick fabric(i used suede)
-Glitter
-Fabric Glue
-Ribbon/Chain

HOW TO: 

- Iron the fusing on the wrong side of the fabric.Make sure it sticks properly.
-Cut out a pattern of your desired collar on paper. One pattern would do for both the sides.
-Trace the pattern on the fabric and cut out the patterns.
-Stick the two sides together from the middle with fabric glue. A drop or two will do. Let it dry
-(now comes the messy part ) Apply fabric glue uniformly to any side of the fabric ( i applied it on the fusing, so that I could use my collar from  both the sides) WITH the help of a brush.
-Put the glitter evenly and let it dry.
-After it dries , Make holes on the edge of the collar sides and attach your chain or ribbon.
-Tralalaalala, Your amazing statement neckpiece is ready!

 TO THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT FASHION IS ,
chill people! I’m here to help you out :)
fashion is not just dressing , its so much more than that. its a way of life , a better way of life which makes u feel good and positive always
your moods reflect your fashion sense and vice versa.
fashion can be who you want to be and it can be who you are too

and people , if u say you are least affected by it , trust me you are the most :)
because our idol Coco Chanel says ,
 
 “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

I’ll be glad to help you with style advice too :)
