DIY: Embellished Collar

I love DIY blogs and DIY shows; it amazes me that people have the imagination and creativity to think of these things. I always think of some amazingly cool and creative project and either give up when it does not work out or just never get around to it. This time I actually did it! I was inspired by Alicia from Cheetah is the New Black. Check out her post here.

What you will need.
You can pick these knives up at any craft store. I got mine from Michaels.
These screw back studs are great, no sewing required. I got these on 7th ave in NYC. You can also get them from Etsy here.
I would suggest using a shirt you already have or picking up one from a discount store. I got this really good quality one from Marshalls for $24. 
First line up your studs in the pattern you would like them to be in. I originally started with a pyramid but decided to go with a row. Poke a tiny hole with the knife and stick the back of the stud through the hole. Secure the top of the stud and repeat. Make sure you pay attention and space your studs evenly.
