Turn an old scarf into an excellent collar necklace!
The collar necklace in this project is created from an upcycled scarf. I chose to go about my collar pretty organically. Essentially, I wanted the end product to be worn like a bandana. Looking pristine from the from, but a bit more rough from the back.
