DIY: How To Make A Choker Necklace Out Of Fabric
Materials You Need
There is nothing much you need to make chokers. They are-
- Suitable fabric
- Scissors
- Sewing machine or needles (optional)
- Clasp (optional)
- Decoration (optional)
Steps To Follow
Step 1: Get Your Favorite Fabric
The most important part of this project is the fabric you use. You can use an old shirt or any other piece of fabric you can find. There are lots of different patterned fabrics to choose from. You can make a plain choker or one with lots of patterns and designs; it is up to you.
Step 2: Measure Everything Up
Now, using the scissors, cut the right amount of fabric. The length should be as long as you think your neck is, and for the width, it depends on how wide or slim you want your choker to be.
If you think you are not good at cutting the sides, then cut the fabric wider enough that when you fold it in half, it will become the width of what you want.
Step 3: Ready
Now, if you want, you can sew the fabric in half and then iron it to get the sewing part on the hiding spot.
But if you do not, you can use it as it now.
You can add clasps if you want or just knot it around your neck.
Step 4: Decoration (Optional)
This step is optional. You can add beads, pendants, or decorative things in your choker to make them more extra. You can add a tassel to your choker for an extra touch of trend. Place the tassel over the second jump ring, then close it. Make sure that you move the tassel in such a way that it doesn’t sit on top of the first jump ring since it will make it difficult to close the ring.
