Fashion: Making my accessory

To begin making my accessory I had to make all of my string coils. I started to do this by taking a length of string, dipping it in watery glue and and wrapping it to create a spiral effect. This took a long time and was very messy. Knowing that I would need to make a lot of these coils I decided it was a good idea to try to come up with another way of making them. I decided to put lots of circles, with gaps in between, of glue and then put the string on the paper. Once dry the I could cut out the coils with the paper underneath, which would keep them strong and together. This idea worked a lot better and I am somewhat happy with the fact that the other first way didn't work so well. 

After all the coils were made it was time to make the base that would go around the neck and on the chest of my model. Recycling and Reusing is very important to me so to do this I took an old pair of old jeans and cut them into what looked like very a very short pair of shorts. I then cut along the waist band for about 3 inches each side of the fastening. I needed to ensure that this was gonna be enough but not too much to fit around my models neck. My idea was that the cuts would separate that part of the waist band and so I could put it around the neck still keeping the main body of the jeans at the front of the body. The button fastening would then fasten at the back of the neck which would keep the accessory on the body but make it easy to remove also.

I then, with a glue gun, attached all the coils onto the now shorts. I attached them in a structured formation rather than in a random one as I thought that this would ensure that no gaps would be left. I think that this worked really well and gave a more powerful look to the accessory.
