DIY Lace Collar Necklace

This lace collar necklace is a great way to give a girly touch to a simple t-shirt or a layered look over a sweater as we get in to Fall. I love that it's on chain which makes it easy to put together and comfortable to wear.

Prep It:

• 2 cotton doilies
• embroidery needle
• embroidery thread
• a button - preferably one that is attached with one back loop
• chain
• 2 jump rings
• 2 pliers
• chain or wire cutters

Do It:

1. Hold the lace in place where you would want it to hang on your neck. Place the chain around your neck to measure where to cut the chain.
2. Cut the chain using your chain cutters.
3. Sew the lace doily in half by doing a simple stitch all the way around the outer edge of the doily.
4. On one point of one doily, sew on the button and on the other doily sew a little loop that will fit around the button.
5. Using the pliers, open a jump ring and close it around the chain and connect it through a space in the crochet on the opposite point (of the botton) on the doily.
6. Repeat step 5 on the other side.
7. Style your lace collar necklace with a simple t-shirt, sweater or any top that has a flat neckline.
