DIY Tutorial: Mirrored Collars - ÆTIENNE.NET. August 26, 2010 While I’m (still) working on another DIY project, I did a quick one this morning to make up for my lack of tutorials lately! Inspiration: I’ve wanted to make a detachable collar with a mirrored surface for some time (no idea why), but it wasn’t until I saw Lucinda‘s post on her prismatic shoes that I realized that it was totally DIYable- with old CDs.
What you will need: Unwanted ShirtAn old CD, or two, depending on how much surface you want to cover.Basin/Old Container that can fit the CD nicely. (You might want to throw this away when you’re done)A ChopstickA pair of scissors (that you’re, preferably, willing to part with)Uhu Glue Instructions: Cut out the collar from the shirt.Place the CD into the container, and pour boiling water into the container. Cut the CD out into angular shapes, then place them on your collar to see if you like it.
