FEATHER BIB NECKLACE

Remember Kourtney Kardashian rockin' this Camille K feather bib necklace in this post? Well, they done messed up now, cuz Imma make this.

Let's see, I have felt, black turkey feathers, (from old DIY project), and I have black ribbon.

I used a pattern from my previous project and pinned it to the felt and cut it out.

I did a dry run and placed the feathers on the felt before I glued them.

Before gluing the feathers, I laid them out according to size. I put the longest feathers at the bottom and hot glued the first feather in the center.

Continued gluing row after row. Be careful to not get the hot glue strings on the feathers.

Added rhinestones to cover the tip of the feather quills.

Finished the look with black ribbons.

Can't wait to rock it!

Looks expensive right?

DIY LEATHER BIB NECKLACE

Bib necklaces are all the rage. Look at Kourtney Kardashian making a statement with this bold feather bib necklace.

I decided to make my own, not feather but leather. I had a piece of black felt from a previous project, an old leather coat that I cut the sleeves off, glue gun, ribbon and my sewing kit.

*didn't use the glue gun*

I cut off a piece of leather, sketched a bib template, pinned and cut the felt.

I measured and cut about (17) 2 inch strips of leather.

I folded each strip and sewed the first piece at the bottom and continued upwards.

 I needed another piece of leather to hide the stitching on the strips and to have a finished look.

 I placed the "C" shaped leather on top of the strips and added ribbon to each side.

Here's the final product.

Not too shabby, huh?

Rockin' my bib at work!
