DIY: Collar tips

So you may have seen Balenciaga's take on collar tips and similar ones which may be purchased on Asos.com but here's how to make them yourself. 
What you'll need:
- 2 decorative brass corners
- 2 clutch pin backs
- 2 pieces of think fabric scrap (felt, wool etc.)
- Hammer
- Cutting pliers
- Super glue


Start by drawing 2 lines at 45 degree angles on the inside of each brass corner, creating a small wedge. Use cutting pliers to cut out these wedges.


Sandwich a brass corner between 2 pieces of fabric. The fabric will prevent the brass from dents from the hammer. Lightly tap the hammer, flattening the edges inward.


Once flattened, superglue a clutch pin back on each backside 


Let it dry. 


Done! Attach your new collar tips to any shirt!
