DIY: Making Collar From a Doily
Make some use of those doilies that you have stored away! I took a doily and basically cut out the center. Mine was starched so I didn't really have any fraying. But if you do have some fraying, simply sew it up as you would a hem.
Next you cut down the middle of the doily- you can also cut out a triangle- your choice. For this first collar I cut it straight down and then took it in an inch on each side and hemmed it. (Which gave the same result if I had cut out a triangle.).
Here is the piece cut...
Next, to attach the two pieces together, I sewed on a snap. But to make really pretty, I had a leftover pearl from a sole earring. It made it so pretty!
And here's the finished look!
And- if you want to change it up, just turn the pearl part to the back of your neck and wear it circular like this...
