Supplies:

Scissors

Triangle pattern

Pencil

Sewing machine

1 yd white fabric

Measuring tape

Bells or white puff balls (optional)

First, before you do anything else, measure around your neck. Then, you're going to need to do a little math and find the radius of your neck in order to make a circle.

1. Fold your fabric in half and then in half again hot dog style. Find the middle of the fabric and mark it. Use your measuring tape to mark the radius and creating a half circle.

2. Put the triangle pattern in the middle of half circle and trace with the pencil.

3. Place the triangle to the side and mark

4. There should be 3 triangles. Cut it out and you should have two 

                         

5. Cut out a rectangle the length of you neck plus one inch and the width 3 inches.

       

    

6. Iron interfacing to one side on the collar.

       

7. Pin the other collar piece on top of the one with the interfacing, right sides together. Cut a slit in the collar between two of the triangles. Sew them together.

      

8. Once the two pieces of the collar has been sewed together, turn the right sides out and stitch around the outside.

     

9. Fold the rectangle piece we cut in half and iron.

    

10. Pin the folded rectangle piece and the collar together. Remember that the rectangle will be slightly larger them the edge of the collar. Sew.

    

11. Cut Velcro squares and attach them to the ends of the rectangle sewed around the top of the collar.

                       

12. The last step is adding bells or white puff bells to the ends of the points on the collar. I used fabric glue to attach white puff balls.

Finally to finish the look where your hair in Harley's two high ponytails, red lipstick, and black eyeliner.
