EASY DIY CHOKER TUTORIAL


Hello welcome to Beautiful Onyinye. Wanna know more about me? Click Here

Chokers are all over town, everyone is wearing one. I was however not so quick to follow this trend.
The reason? Most chokers I saw in the market where not entirely to my taste. I just wanted something simple and unique.
The heavens seemed to have heard my cry as i came across a DIY post by Ijenna and was instantly inspired.
Now let's get to the tutorial.

This took me about 6-7minutes and materials needed can be easily sourced from your local tailoring shop.

Materials Needed


  • Measuring tape
  • Ribbon/ Bias
  • Super glue/Any type of glue that adheres well to fabric and plastic
  • Thread
  • Sewing Needle
  • Studs/stones (for clothes)
  • Magic gum (Remember your kito sandals as a child? Those adhesives on it that had two sides, one rough, one soft? That's it. If you know the correct name kindly leave a comment below.)


Step 1


So the first thing to do is to measure round your neck . Now my neck was 14inches, i added 1 extra inch for the place I'll attach the magic gum.
Once you've measured your neck, cut out that measurement of ribbon(15inches in my case). Next you burn the edges of the ribbon with a lighted matchstick to avoid fraying.


Step 2


The second step is gluing your studs to the ribbon.
So you place your first stud in the middle of the ribbon, then the remaining two 1inch apart from the middle one. You can use as many studs as you like, but I felt 3 were just A ok.
Remember to apply your glue to your stud before sticking it to your ribbon, this makes your work neater.


Step 3



The last and final step is to attach your magic gum.

Cut the gum into size to fit the ribbon and sew on with needle and thread.You can skip this step if you can't find the magic gum. Simply make your ribbon about 10inches longer than your neck circumference(as stated in step 1) and tie at the back.

All done!!



Lovely yes?
