Styling Tips: 1. This is the perfect necklace for a very plain outfit. It adds a sort of classy effect!! Thnx :)

Instructions

  1. Small dscn3715

    Gather Materials and plug in your glue gun.

  2. Small dscn3716

    Cut a 3" piece of elastic and glue it to your tee shirt scrap.

  3. Small dscn3717

    Measure your pleated ribbon. You want to cut 4 strips, all at the same length.

  4. Small dscn3718

    Glue down first piece of pleated ribbon.

  5. Small dscn3719

    Now glue down the rest of the pleated ribbon strips. We glued three on the elastic and then one more in the middle to give a little lift!

  6. Small dscn3720

    Place a little bit of glue on the last piece of pleated ribbon. This is where your black poly bow will go!

  7. Small dscn3721

    Place the black bow over the glue and press for 10 seconds. While it dries, you may want to measure and cut your chain. Measure it around your neck to make sure you can pull it over your head.

  8. Small dscn3724

    Once dry, flip over the entire piece and line up one side of the chain to where you think it would fit best. Now glue it down!

  9. Small dscn3725

    Now you want to put some more glue on top of the chain to make sure it stays!

  10. Small dscn3730

    Do the same with the other side of the chain.

  11. Small dscn3729

    Now take your other tee shirt scrap square. You want to glue this over the chain. Be very generous with your glue and cover the middle section of the chain side.

  12. Small dscn3731

    This is what it should look like.

  13. Small dscn3732

    Here is a front view :)

  14. Small dscn3734

    Now you want to trim the border of the scraps as shown. Use a very sharp fabric scissor to make your edges neat.

  15. Small dscn3737

    Cut around the entire rectangle of your tuxedo piece as shown.

  16. Small dscn3738

    Let it all cool down and ROCK IT!!!!
