We almost lost our marbles when we first spotted these scalloped white Louis Vuitton collars on the runway. And so when Lucky Magazine asked us to create a tutorial for their November issue, DIYing Peter Pan collars was an absolute no-brainer. Crisp, feminine, and perfect for fall, who would have thought Neverland could look so chic?
You’ll need:
- 2 scalloped edged collar pieces cut from white felt or rubber flannel (pattern downloadable here)
- a single hole punch or leather rotary hole punch
- 1 yard of white ribbon
- a needle and thread
- hot glue gun
- button
Using the pattern template, cut out the two collar pieces. Create small holes between each scallop, using the hole punch.
Overlap the two wider end pieces and push a button through the last two aligning holes. Sew the button in place from the backside.
Cut the ribbon into two half-yard lengths. Thread the ribbon through the last hole on the tapered end, place a drop of glue at the tip, and fold it closed.
Wrap the collar around your neck and tie it into a bow.
Your Louis Vuitton inspired peter pan collar is finished!
Don’t forget to pick up a copy of the November issue of Lucky Magazine – on newstands now!

I LOVV ITTTTT GREAT ONE!
Looks great! But the “here” link for the pattern appears to be broken (I get a 404) 🙁
Seriously fantastic. I’ve been in love with these collars from the first moment I’ve seen them. Unfortunately, I don’t live somewhere very fashion forward and haven’t found any around yet. This is a brilliant DIY. xoxo
Girls this is super great! Could you maybe tell us an alternative to make the holes?

seriously gorgeous…
@Camille, link is fixed now! @Laura, if you don’t want to buy a leather rotary puncher, a regular paper hole punch from an office supply store should work just fine. xx
seriously gorgeous…
Love this diy. I’m working on making a collar right now as well!

This is insanely gorgeous!..thanks for the tut!
Wanna make this like right now, but only have some thick white cotton, would this fray?
@Nell, yes it may fray! Felt and rubber flannel, which can be found at almost all fabric stores, would be the best option for this. Good luck! xx
This a great DIY and very easy! Thaks for sharing it!

As a kiddo I hated the peter pan collars my mom made me wear. I guess mom know’s best, cause I’m in love with them now!!!
xoxox,
Courtney
I love this so much <3 just made one!
I made it from my old beret and it looks stunning. Thanks for very good idea, I love that collar on every clothing.
okay – I have to admit – I am craft – handicapped – so please bear with me. I bought everything on the list to make this beautiful collar. I printed out the template, but I don’t want to trace on the felt because it will show (I only know this because I already tried it – thankfully, I bought PLENTY of materials). HELP! How do I successfully cut the material using the template?
@ Jennifer: You can pin the template on the felt and cut around it, that way you won’t have to draw on the fabric 🙂
Great DIY!! Can’t wait to make it.
I tried to download the template, but Adobe says there’s something wrong with the file. Is that possible?
Sorry, the other link was working! Yay!
hello, i took your advice to make my own peter pan collar
I put a link of your website on mine to explain in french how to make a peter pan collar 🙂

hope you agree
lots of love

I love tour blog and your ideas!! You have a wonderfull creative blog!! I’m french, and J’ADORE TON BLOG!!!
I broke my hole punch, but my collar looks superb 🙂 yay!
I have to say, if anyone is thinking of how to do the holes, a rotary leather puncher is a seriously good investment—just think of the little things—like being able to punch new belt holes (great for transforming belts for pants that you want to be able to wear stylishly on the natural waistline/with skirts, etc but are too big.)
Love the details with the puncher.
I love it! mind if I post the link on my blog?
thank you for the inspiration!!!you can check my blog i made a post with my collar and also gave your url!
Greetings from Greece!
great idea. can’t wait to try it!

glad to know about something like this.http://www.porcelanatoportinari.com
Too cute!! I will need to get a hole puncher 🙂
this is absolutely amazing idea. I would try to make one as well, looks simple.

What a cute tutorial!
I invested in a rotary hole punch but find it has some trouble punching through the felt – did anyone else encounter this problem?
I have the same problem with the rotary hole punch, it just won’t go through the fabric. I wonder if my punch is defective or if I’m just not doing it correctly. Some tips would be nice :>
Hey I really appreciate the tutorial, it was super easy to follow along with.
Take a look at my interpretation if you get a chance!!
http://capitalfashion613.blogspot.ca/2012/05/peter-pan-collar.html
Also to the comments above, I dont have a rotary hole punch so I just used a thick nail and a hammer to punch the holes.

Hi Erica,
I just wanted to share with you the collar I made using your template. I hope you like it! I am going to make another one which is more like the one you did above, I just got a bit carried away with this one!

Made “my own” verision of it, thanks for the pattern! Linked to this entry at my Chictopia.
This is SO awesome! Totally going to do this! Thanks! ♥
This is super cute! Btw I was wondering if you can recommend any good sewing machines, hopefully on the cheaper side, no more than $150? I want to buy one but I don’t know anything about them and I don’t want to end up going on ebay/amazon to buy one at $30 that will suck you know? There’s so many DIY’s I want to do and I’m a real need for a sewing machine so any advice you could give would be really helpful!
Wow this is so beautiful, simple and classic! Great for everyday!
I also make some collar necklaces myself, please have a look at : http://whatscraftdoc.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/party-or-casual-detachable-collars.html

I made a reversible maroon/white collar using adhesive backed felt. So adorable and easy to match with outfits!
Just made this… It’s adorable! So easy to do, and I whipped it up in 15 minutes. Thanks for the great DIY!
Great Tutorial, but do you have to use felt? Can I just use some old shirt?
If some one desires to be updated with most up-to-date technologies then he
must be go to see this web page and be up to date daily.
I am very impresses by this simple and adorable DIY. I will definitely try it soon. Great share!
Oh, this is exactly what i was looking for! Such a lovely and sweet design. But it looks like the link to the template is gone. Is there another source for it? I would love to make this!!
So freaking cute! I’m dying for the template and the link isn’t working again- any chance of getting that fixed so I can try this asap? <3
@Emily link should be fixed now!
Love your tutorial! But, I’m having a hard time downloading the file if it’s still available. Every time I click the link, it pulls up a picture, but I’m unable to do anything with it.
