DIY Peter Pan Collar

Posted by on

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:

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!

    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?

    @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

    Wanna make this like right now, but only have some thick white cotton, would this fray?

  16. Erica    October 25, 2011

    @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

    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?

  55. Sandra    November 21, 2011

    @ 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?

  59. Delphine    December 2, 2011

    I love tour blog and your ideas!! You have a wonderfull creative blog!! I’m french, and J’ADORE TON BLOG!!!

    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.)

    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?

  79. Rose    May 23, 2012

    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 :>

    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!

  95. Ingrid    April 23, 2013

    This is amazing! It’s so easy and the finished product looks so professional. Definitely trying it :)
