Hey everyone, Kaylee here with the
easiest DIY chokers that you will ever
do. I love chokers and I was super tired
of spending lots of money on them, so I
decided to DIY my own and here's how.
For supplies, I picked up just about
everything from my local craft store. I
picked up some leather cord and some
ribbons. I also grabbed some cute little
embellishments like pearls and beads and
some tassels.
Start by grabbing a ribbon or string and
measure it around your neck. Then cut it
to the length that it is around your
neck. And this becomes our choker ruler.
This is what we're going to use to
measure everything from here on
out. Starting with the easiest, we're
going to do the single wrap. For this,
you're just going to measure your ribbon
or leather cord to be twice the length
of your choker. So, measure once and
then twice and cut it off. And that's
actually it. From here, you can wear it
a bunch of different ways. You can tie
it around your neck and then have the
ends in the back, or you can leave the
ends in the front for a more kind of
western feel, or even tie them in a bow
for a more girly
look. So, the double wrap actually
recreates my favorite ASOS choker.
You're just going to measure three times
the length of your choker ruler and then
cut that. And then you're done. You just
wrap this around your neck a couple of
times and you have the perfect minimal
choker.
Okay, this is our final cut and go
choker. For this one, you're just going
to measure four times the length of your
ruler. And that is it for this one. To
create your bolo style choker, you just
wrap it around the front, cross it in
the back, and then tie it again in the
front. And that is it for this one. Nice
and simple, but has a cute little
western feel to
it. Okay, now we can get a little
fancier. First, we're going to start out
by measuring four times the ruler with
some thin leather cord, or you could use
string if you prefer that. Snip it off.
And then I got this little turquoise
bead. You can find this at craft stores.
And you just thread it onto the cord,
put it in the middle, and then you're
done. You just have to wrap this around
your neck and tie it. And I love this.
It looks super cool, but it's really
easy to make. This one with the tassels
is something I would totally buy. So, I
just took some suede cord and did four
times the length of the ruler. Then I
grabbed some tassels from the craft
store and I just tied them on to the end
of the suede cord. If you wanted to be
fancy, you could sew it on, but
honestly, this is easy and it looks just
as good. So, then you just snip off any
tail that you have from your knot and
you're done. Just make sure to do that
on the other side, too, so you have two
tassels on this
necklace. This one is really fun to wear
and play with. I feel like the mix of
the suede and the tassels makes it look
really expensive and totally not
DIY. Okay, and this is my last rather
girly one. You're just going to measure
three lengths of some thin ribbon and
then clip that off. Then I just added a
pearl. I used a needle threader to help
me get the ribbon into the pearl. But
then once that was done, I just tied it
on and that's it. It's perfect and girly
and I love it. So that is it for my
super duper easy choker styles. I hope
you guys love this. You can make so many
so inexpensively with these tutorials.
So, I hope you guys like this video. I
will be back with my next hair tutorial
on Saturday and I'll see you then. Bye.
