- needle and pins;
- braid or ribbon of the same size as the future frill;

This frill can be attached to a tape, elastic band, or sewn to clothing.
For the second method, you will need 3 isosceles triangles of different sizes, lace in a ribbon and a thread with a needle. You can decorate the accessory with a brooch or a bow. Sew the edges of the triangles with lace and fasten them one on top of the other, starting with the larger one, with the vertices towards the neck. Sew the decor at the bonding point.
