I love the look of newsprint, and since I'm actually studying English and Journalism next year, I decided to play around with it and see what I could make. I decided that this was a fun and simple project, and a great way to use some old faux leather I had lying around. :)

Cut out your templates (either draw your own or print one off of the internet) and modge podge them onto your leather/faux leather. Wait for them to dry.
Cut your newspaper into strips and modge podge it over your paper template, to ensure that you have a big enough space covered. If you'd rather just put newspaper over the whole thing, you don't need to modge podge the template down first! Wait for it to dry.
Cut out your collar pieces using an extra template.
Punch a hole in the front (where the two pieces will join in the front) and at the back (where you'll add the clasp) of each collar piece.
Add a jump ring to the centre front, connecting the two collar pieces in the middle.
Add a jump ring and lobster clasp to the back of the one side.
Add a jump ring and chain to the back of the other side.
Punch holes in the edges, and decorate to your liking.
