Black Crocheted Collar Necklace

I have posted the first collar necklace i made, (Mind you, I did not follow any pattern for that, I think, I am improving in my crocheting skills). I also posted a photo on my FB page and surprisingly, many liked it. yeahiiy!!! I let my sister borrow it and she wore it to work. Here's the exciting part! Her office mates liked it and ordered some. I did not expect I can even earn from this. but this time here's the photo of the first collar necklace I sold. I'm just soo happy. I have sold several PERSONALIZED collars now. They decide what color combinations to use so I'd say it's personalized. :D I haven't written a pattern yet, but if ever anyone's interested to know, just send me an email and I'll try my best to make one. wehehe...

My first client wanted her collar black. I just added some beads and a cute button on the center.

Trendy Collar Necklace My way :)

Collar Necklace/detachable collar is a trend right now. I've seen some celebs wear it and I definite like how it adds a nice touch to a get up.You can wear a plain shirt/blouse and make it fab by wearing a collar necklace. Of course, being frugal does not mean being out of style. I decided I'd have to have at least one. Well, after some research on the net, I found I can have not just one, but as many as want. (Actually, as many as I can "make". But no, I am not buying. One collar usually costs 200-400 PHP, (not including shipping) and there is no way I am paying that amount for a collar.

I learned how to crochet just last year. And I would say, It is sooo addicting! haha. I can't stop sometimes. I am still not a pro, but I was able to make good stuff from the hobby. One of them is my very first collar necklace. Instead of spending 400 Pesos for the collar It only cost me 20 pesos for the 12 peso yarn and some beads for the necklace. All you need to invest is the skill and a little time w/ patience :). This took me less than an hour to make. So I'd say, it's best to try crafts sometimes. It will save you a lot!! For those who knows how to crochet, congratulations!! :)

See the photos of my very first crocheted collar necklace.

Peter Pan Collar I think is what it's called
