The Choker himself

More recently, short tight necked necklace- chokers were at the height of fashion. Moreover, in the wardrobe each self-respecting fashionista simply had to have a set of choker-necklace and choker-bracelet. Today, although there is a tendency to return fashion to them, it is quite difficult to find these accessories on sale. Therefore, we offer you a master class, how to make a choker yourself.

How to weave a choker yourself?

The following method allows you to weave a choker both on your arm and on your neck.

1. Let's start by preparing all the necessary materials. First of all, for the choker we need a thin elastic fishing line.
2. To fix our weaving in the workplace, we use office clamps-binders.
3. And, if desired, you can weave in the choker and the beads - suitable for color or contrast.
4. We measure the line of the required length. If we weave a necklace, then the length of a piece of fishing line should be equal to two neck girths, if it's a bracelet, then you need to measure two girth arms.
5. Fold our piece in half and fix it with a binder.
6. We pull the fishing line to avoid the formation of loops on it.
7. Now take one end of the line and throw it on the other to form a loop.
8. Let's repeat this manipulation with the other end of the line.
9. Continue the work until it reaches the desired length. If desired, after each loop can be weaved into the choker and beads.
10. When the work is done, we lock our choker into a ring.
11. We scorch the ends of the line over the candle flame.
12. We get here such a wonderful bracelet-choker, woven with our own hands.

Now let's look at the scheme by which we can weave a choker from beads.

For work we need a thin line, oblong and round beads, as well as a lock for jewelry made of two halves.

Let's get to work:

1. Through the ear of the lock let's cut a piece of fishing line and begin to string the beads according to the scheme on both ends.
2. Continue to work up to the required length, and then we will weave into it the second half of the lock.
3. After this, we continue the weaving of the choker in the opposite direction according to the scheme.
4. Having reached the first half of the castle we will tie the ends of the line with a knot and cut off all unnecessary.
5. As a result, we'll get this unusual necklace-choker made of beads.

For work we will need:

• pliers;
• hook;
• sewing needle with a large eye;

The basis of our necklace-choker will be a series of 13 rings and 12 connecting chains. The working thread for this must be a length of 150 cm.

Let's get to work:

1. We start with the first ring.
2. After tying the connecting chain, we pass to the second ring.
3. In the same way, we untangle the third and all subsequent rings, connecting them with chains.
4. We finish the series with a ring.
5. Similarly, we knit the second and all subsequent rows of our necklace, until it reaches the desired width.
6. It's time to decorate our necklace-choker. To do this, we take small beads and fix them on the bound fringe.
7. Details the whole process of tying fringe and fixing beads on it is shown in the photo.
8. In the process, the main thing is to act carefully, so that the finished product does not warp.
9. Beads can be made of plain or with inserts. You can also experiment with beads of unusual shape or bugles.
