DIY: Pearl & Ribbon Collar

The combination of pearl and ribbon on the neckline looks super sweet, without becoming overwhelming.


WHAT YOU NEED:

Top2 yards of gauzy ribbon, wire thread, different sized faux pearls and Glue Gun
1. First you need to create the neckline. Start by threading a pearl onto the wire, and then pitch the ribbon so there is a 1/2 inch excess and pierce with wire (see above pic). Continue this, alternating pearl sizes, until it is long enough to surround the entire neckline.
2. Once you have the correct length, tie the ends to make a complete circle. If you want, stop at this point and just wear as a necklace!
3. Next you are going to fasten to the tank. You can sew it on or use a glue gun. After gluing all around the neck, go back and fill in any gaps with the glue gun to ensure it will stay put!
4. Let it dry for 30 minutes and your new embellished tank in ready to wear!
