Mirror/ Holographic collar

I have been working on this shirt on and off for a couple weeks now. I told you guys that the shirt that I posted wasn't quiet done yet but now it is here is the result on the collar part

This collar was inspired by this blogger from Singapore Lenne who's collar I randomly found searching the web. After trying (and miserably failing) to find the right CD for the project It dawned on me to use the CD's that didn't work in my collar. So for this DIY just use what you get and from  the CD's you find and make your collar however you want

For this DIY you will need
2/3 CD
Boiling hot water
a container
Fabric glue
Scissors 
something to grab the withCD ( tongs, a stick,a thick cloth ect)

1. Boil some water
2. Put CD in container
3. Fill with hot water 
4. Now here's the fun part in 2 mins take the CD out and cut it until you reach that shiny circle that surrounds the hole and then (If you can) split the CD in half. Now when I say CD I don't mean the paint on it. It will come appart like literally you should get two pieces of plastic CD
5. Now at this point 1 of the 5 will happen to you. You will either get;

A. Purple tinted CD Piece




B. A semi clear CD Piece

C. the CD will split and you will be stuck with a beautiful holographic mirror slightly thinner CD Peice (this never happen to me hopefully you will have better luck!)

D. Nothing will happen. At all.

 

6. Cut the CDs in to triangular peices and arrange them however you like on the collar. Have fun with it!

7. Once you know where you want the pieces to go use your fabric glue to glue it down. Then let it dry.

 Then Voila  you have a epic mirror collar!

Dip Dye Collared Shirt

So this Diy is something I started spurr of moment last night. I bought this collared shirt the other day because well honestly I was pressured by my grandmother to buy it but I thought it was boring so I bought some teal rit dye and took the collar and cuffs of the shirt and dyed it. I really like the result so far but it is still a work in progress because I plan on adding to the collar.

BEFORE

AFTER

I know the lightings bad but you get the gist, promise I will get better!

What you will need 

Teal rit dye 

A shirt

A stove

Tin foil

A big pot

1.  Ok so first you want to fill a big pot with water then you want to put the water on simmer 

2. Put your shirt in the water then take it out

3. Put the approate amount of dye in. I used about a third a bottle of rit dye in a collared greens pot but if you want exact measurements and stuff the rite dye site is a good place to start

4. Go to the parts of the shirt you want to dye at the part you want the dye to stop wrap tin foil around it and rest that tin foil part on the rim of the pot

5.Stir for 30 mins

6. Take it out of the dye bath and rinse it with warm water gradually make it colder till the the water runs clear

7. Let it dry 

 Then Viola you get a epic dip dye shirt!
