Step 1
After watching the film "Crimson Peak," I was captivated by Victorian-era fashion. That is how the idea to make an embroidered detachable collar on a satin ribbon was born. The idea is very simple to execute; all you need is patience and the desire to complement a dress or blouse with a gorgeous accessory. Choose the size, shape, and decorative materials at your own discretion, but remember the main rule: the collar base and ties are made in black.

Step 3
How to Sew an Embroidered Detachable Collar
Make a collar pattern from black felt, guided by the shape and depth of your outfit's neckline. Leave 1.5 cm seam allowances. Hem the edge, inserting metal rings to attach the ribbon.

Step 5
For the embellishment, select: large crystals and cabochons, smaller stones, beads, and seed beads.
First, glue the large elements in place according to your design, then sew them down using a strong (preferably nylon) thread folded into 2 strands.

Step 7
Gradually fill the surface with smaller stones and beads. If desired and if you have the experience, you can create a pattern, for example, as shown in the photo

Step 9
Apply Moment Crystal glue to the wrong side of the embroidered top section.

Step 11
As it dries, it adds strength to the piece while keeping it flexible.
Cut the collar backing from black velvet or another fabric, adding 1 cm seam allowances on all sides. Glue the top piece to the wrong side of the collar backing and trim away the excess fabric.

Step 13
The final step is edging the border with small black or silver seed beads. Do this the same way as when edging brooches. IMPORTANT! Using fishing line may cause the edge to curl inward, so it is best to use thin monofilament thread for the edging.
Attach the ties to the finished collar: thread a black satin ribbon with heat-sealed ends through the rings and tie it.
