GORGEOUS!!! What is your little girl's most wanted must-have accessory for the season - the peter pan collar necklace of course!  You can make her one all by yourself and doing something for the environment at the same time by recycling some old tshirts and granny's hankies! No boogers please!!! X


SKIM YOUR TEXTILE BIN

Choose a patterned hankie for the top collar - my favourites are paisleys!
Pick an old Tshirt for under collar piece (or vice versa) - my preference is grey marl -always looks cool on little girls

REVERSIBLE DENIM COLLAR NECKLACE TUTORIAL






Gorgeous collar necklaces never go out of season - recycle some old pair of jeans and an old pillow case, preferably with some embroidery to make this reversible collar necklace for your little fashionista.


SKIM YOUR TEXTILE BIN

I chose a not so old pillow case, unfortunately it ripped so I could no longer use it. It has some lovely tone in tone embroidery in places so that is a nice feature for the colllar.
For the other side I used dark denim from a pre-worn pair of jeans
