One of the criteria for female beauty is an elegant and long neck. For many peoples, she is the standard of femininity. The neck requires some attention, and, of course, jewelry! We will talk about the oldest, but still ultra-fashionable decoration - the choker. You will learn how to make a choker for your neck with your own hands using available materials.
When translated from English, “choker” means “strangler.” This is a short necklace, its length is 35-40 cm, when worn, it is located at the base of the neck and is adjustable in girth. The choker is also called a “standing collar”.
If you have a short or wide neck, then a choker necklace is not the best option for you, because visually this decoration makes your neck even wider and shorter. In this case, it is better to give preference to thin chokers and colors that are not very contrasting to the skin. Chokers with long elements will make your neck look longer, such as a lace choker.
Very often, a choker is confused with another type of necklace - a collar. A collar is also a short necklace, but slightly shorter than a choker (30-35 cm), it fits tightly to the neck. Visually, the collar creates a transverse division of the neck, and very often consists of several rows of beads or pearls.
History of origin
There are many versions of the origin of this decoration. According to one of them, the Indians also wore items made of straps, beads and animal claws around their necks. They believed in the mystical protective power of these decorations.
Europe was also conquered by this accessory. Thus, French women of the 16th-18th centuries also preferred chokers; they were worn by both ladies from high society and courtesans. By wearing a red ribbon around their necks, women expressed their grief to those who died during the revolution.
In the 19th century, the English princess Alexandra of Wales hid a scar on her neck using a choker. Imitating the princess, many ladies of that century began to wear similar jewelry.
Queen Elizabeth I of England also adored this decoration.
Princess Diana also loved this pearl accessory and more.
The inimitable Coco Channel preferred choker necklaces in her collections. Her jewelry consisted of ribbons made of velvet, leather, silk and pearls. An innovation was the tablet insert.
In the 90s, a choker often expressed belonging to a certain subculture (punks, rockers, hippies).
The fashion trend of “choker mania” has survived to this day. You can make a choker with your own hands with minimal time, effort and money! The materials from which a choker can be made are simply amazing in their diversity.
DIY boho bracelets
The main feature of the boho style is the presence of many different decorations with pendants and natural elements (shells, feathers, flowers, etc.). This style is loved for its uniqueness, originality and freedom, which will never go out of fashion.
If you want to create a bracelet with a boho style pendant, we advise you to first think about the material - it should be something natural, for example, leather, suede, hemp or satin, but not beads or plastic. The pendant can be a stone, a shell or even a walnut shell - it all depends on the flight of your imagination.
Creating a bracelet in the boho style is not at all difficult - for example, we will tell you how to make a summer bracelet from shells, which fully corresponds to this style, which is close to nature. So, you will need:
- Fishing line or thin cord for the base;
- Shells with small holes made in them for fastening;
- Beads, stones and any other decorations;
- Clasp for bracelet.
Tie the fishing line into a knot so that the decorations do not slip off at the end. Then alternately string shells, beads, pieces of lace or fabric onto the fishing line, then shells again - alternate the elements as you like. At the end, tie the fishing line into another knot. You can make several rows of these and then fasten them together into one large bracelet.
What do you need to make a choker necklace?
Materials
The materials for making a choker can be different: leather, suede, velvet, lace, wires, threads, ribbons, cords and much more. All of them can be used both to make the base of the choker and to secure pendants.
The basis for weaving chokers from beads and beads can also be different.
Beading line (nylon). Products on a fishing line turn out to be more “rigid”, that is, they hold their shape, unlike products on a thread. The disadvantage of fishing line is its ability to deform, i.e. it is better to store products made from it in a straightened form, or use braided fishing line. When weaving a product from large beads, it is better to take a thicker line, with a diameter of 0.2-0.25 mm.
Elastic thread or elastic (spandex) comes in various diameters and colors. The heavier the beads used in weaving, the stronger the elastic should be.
Nylon thread is used in beading and bead making, but it is better in two folds.
Jewelry cable (lanka) is a metal string coated with a layer of polymer that comes in different thicknesses, flexibility and different colors. Very convenient for making jewelry from beads.
The wire is soft and comes in different diameters (0.3-04 mm is suitable for beading). From wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm you can make a frame for beads and stones.
Memory wire (with a memory effect) is sold in the form of springs and is highly durable.
Accessories
A carabiner is one of the types of clasps for jewelry. Locks come in the form of a simple hook, and there are also carabiners that are more reliable in use.
Clamps are used to secure the ends of the product. A lock is attached to the hole in the ear.
Rings are necessary to connect various elements. They can be solid (cast) or split.
End caps, calottes - used to disguise knots.
Chains with different sizes of links are used to decorate and lengthen necklaces.
Decorative elements
In addition to all of the above scissors , pliers ( needed for compressing and unclenching rings and other accessories), wire cutters (needed for biting off excess materials), as well as glue (Superglue or epoxy-based glue are suitable) will be useful for this work.
The basis
The quality and durability of beaded jewelry depends to a large extent on the correct choice of base.
Wire (copper, brass, steel and even silver) is often used to weave voluminous jewelry of strictly defined complex shapes and interior decor items. Not long ago, so-called chenille wire appeared on sale. Its surface is covered with pile. It not only fixes the beads in place, but also creates an interesting visual effect.
Another popular base is fishing line. It does not hold its shape so rigidly, so it is more often used for weaving mosaics and meshes. The obvious advantages of the fishing line are transparency (no need to select a color) and champion resistance to sweat.
If you intend to create a complex piece of jewelry from the smallest beads, you should look towards monofilament. It, like fishing line, holds its shape well and does not require the use of a needle.
To create “flowing” jewelry, where the mobility of elements is important, the above-mentioned rigid bases are not suitable. In this case, nylon and reinforced threads are optimal - soft and almost eternal.
Fasteners and fastening methods
The choker should have not only a beautiful, but also a reliable clasp. Handicraft stores and online stores offer various types of accessories for jewelry.
Let's look at how to attach some types of fittings to a product.
We fix the ends of the product with adhesive tape or tape and align the ends. Next, we put the clip on the end of the product, while hiding all the protruding elements and threads. Using pliers, carefully press the clamps on both sides and place a lock on the ears of the clamps.
The end cap can be fixed to the ends of the product using glue. At the same time, using rings and wire, you can insert natural stones into the middle of the choker.
You can connect the ends of the decoration using pieces of a chain on which the lock will be attached. In this way you can increase or decrease the length of your product.
You can do without any accessories at all. The simplest thing is to make a loop of lace that will hold the bead, thereby forming a lock.
Using the same principle, you can weave a buttonhole from threads.
A lace choker will look much more interesting if its ends are metal.
Using wire cutters, bite off two identical pieces of metal tube. We put them on the end of a wire or cord. Use a hammer to fix it at the ends and give it the desired shape.
If you are making a choker from threads, you can weave such a neat loop.
To do this, fold the four threads in half and fix them. We begin to braid with one thread all the others according to the principle of tying knots in macrame. We weave about 1 cm on one side and the other. Next, we continue weaving in any way you choose.
Using elastic thread in knitting
Rubber thread can be used when knitting cuffs, necklines, belts, and the edges of hats. It is suitable both for creating new things and for resuscitating old ones, restoring the former elasticity and neat appearance to stretched cuffs and necklines.
An elastic thread added to the main yarn during knitting greatly increases the elasticity of the fabric and allows the garment to retain its shape for a long time.
The use of spandex when knitting children's clothes is very popular. This is due to the high mobility of babies. It is really important that socks and mittens do not come off during play, and that the hat remains in place and protects the child from the cold.
There are several ways to increase the elasticity of knitting using elastic thread:
- add elastic thread to the main yarn while knitting;
- implant an elastic band on the wrong side of the fabric after the product is ready.
In the second case, it is more convenient to regulate the degree of tension of the rubber vein. In addition, less rubber thread will be needed.
The most reliable way to increase the elasticity of knitted elastic bands is to implant an elastic thread . This method is good to use for both new and worn items that have already lost their former elasticity.
The elastic thread is inserted from the wrong side using a blunt needle with a large eye or a crochet hook.
Beaded chokers
Beads are an indispensable material in needlework and, of course, in the making of jewelry. Even one or more strands of beads strung on a fishing line will add uniqueness to your look. And if you weave a beaded choker with your own hands, it will turn out even more interesting!
To do this, we will need beads of two colors, fishing line, pliers, wire or ready-made rings, a lock and a pendant. We collect 4 beads on the fishing line and form a “cross” from them. In a circle between each two beads we add one more, you should get a diamond.
We make the next diamond in the same way.
Visual weaving diagram
We continue to weave diamonds to the desired length. Such a choker can consist of one woven strip or 2 or more. To fix the strips together, we insert diamonds of beads of a contrasting color between them. The result is an openwork choker around the neck.
You can make chokers from beads, beads, and bugles for everyday wear and for festive events.

Linen weaving
At first glance at these jewelry, which amazes with the variety of patterns, designs, inscriptions and even landscapes, it seems that understanding how to weave beaded baubles in this way will require years of practice. In reality, his schemes are no more complicated than others.
- String 10 beads or seed beads onto a fishing line or thread.
- Pass the working end through the 9th, and then again through the 10th, tighten the thread.
- Pass the working end again through the 10th bead, string the 11th bead onto it.
- Pass the fishing line through the 8th bead and again through the 11th, connecting them using a kind of loop.
- Continue weaving row after row.
- Control the tension force, do not allow the canvas to distort.
This weaving method is good for creating “oblique” patterns and ornaments. But in order to create a picture or weave a name, it is better to make a straight canvas. But to make it you need a machine.
Tattoo choker
A tattoo choker is a trendy piece of jewelry; its main feature is an elegant weave of black fishing line that resembles a tattoo.
Such a choker can be made from wires from broken headphones. To do this we will need scissors, headphone wires and tape or a paper clip.
Afinka DIY reveals all the secrets of creating a choker with your own hands from headphones in his master class:
A visual diagram of a snake weaving tattoo choker:
Using this simple weaving technique you can make a whole set (rings, bracelet and tattoo necklace)
Using imagination and sleight of hand, you can get a tattoo choker in the form of flowers connected by wire rings. It is better to make the product from black fishing line, and its ends are thermally treated using a candle or lighter.
A tattoo choker can be decorated with beads by stringing them onto a fishing line when weaving.
Tattoo choker can be of different colors. Beads and seed beads will make the usual black look bright. The decoration can be combined with other jewelry, while correctly combining the color scheme.
A small themed pendant will give a highlight to the choker.
Weaving wide baubles with a cross
Wide baubles - plain or with an outlandish pattern - are already a serious decoration. Not only the young and freedom-loving, but also, with a certain design, social coquettes can afford it. Working on them is not so difficult as it is labor-intensive, but still requires a certain skill.
Having mastered the basics of weaving baubles from beads, you can take the next step and dare to weave a wide bauble.
- Carefully study the diagram of the product you have chosen or think through and create your own.
- According to it, weave 1 row of the bracelet in the usual way.
- Take the 2nd fishing line and pass it through bead C (we will keep the symbols in accordance with the previous instructions).
- Thread 3 beads onto the 2nd needle (let's call them F, E, G).
- We pass the 1st line through bead G and bring it out.
- We pass the 2nd line crosswise through the same bead, tighten the cross, and then use the same needle to attach it to the main chain, passing the 2nd line through bead K.
- Each subsequent cross is performed in the same way.
- Subsequent rows are woven similarly.
- The color of the beads woven into the bracelet must match the pattern.
The width of the finished bauble depends on the number of rows, the pattern depends on the alternation of colors (it is planned by the pattern), the density depends on the thickness of the fishing line or thread, rigidity can be achieved if you use thin wire instead of fishing line.
Lace chokers
Lace chokers differ from all others in their sophistication and sophistication. Depending on the color, their thickness and the decorative embellishments on them, they will look great with all sorts of things in everyday life.
To make a lace choker with your own hands, you only need a piece of lace (about 30 cm for the circumference of the neck) and accessories. A lace choker can be decorated with various decorative pendants.
Pearl beads will help make your choker more delicate and noble. You can simply embroider lace with them, glue them, or hang them with soft wire. The lock on the choker can be replaced by an ordinary thin elastic band fixed in the middle. The lace seams can be hidden under the satin ribbon at the ends of the product.
Narrow light chokers are a great option for light summer outfits. They can also be complemented with a pendant in the form of a decorative stone.
Wide light lace chokers are perfect for “going out” and will make your look more romantic; sequins will add extra shine to this look).
Chokers made of black lace are an irresistible decoration for any fashionista’s evening dress. Brooches can also be used to decorate a choker.
By decorating a black lace choker with beads and chains, you can make such a creative decoration. It can be worn both in everyday life and combined with an evening dress. If you focus on the central part of the choker, thereby lengthening it, then it is better to wear such jewelry with a neckline.
Using metal decorative ornaments, ribbons and lace, you can create such a small masterpiece!) In this case, the clasp will be a thin satin ribbon connecting the edges of the choker.
If you don’t have the necessary accessories for a choker on hand, then a simple Chinese clasp can help out, which you can also make yourself.
Black lace and pearls still look elegant.
The following master class will show us how to make such a choker with our own hands:
A choker with a medallion pendant has an extraordinary antique charm.
Using elastic thread in sewing
Using an elastic thread, summer sundresses and skirts made of thin, light fabrics are decorated. Clothes decorated with gathers fit well to the body, without restricting movement and stretch easily. Working with this material is not difficult; even a novice seamstress can do it. However, in order to master the entire process and avoid mistakes, you need to take into account some nuances.
There are two main ways to sew elastic thread on a sewing machine:
- using a zigzag stitch;
- threaded into the bobbin of the sewing machine.
In the first option, a thread in the form of an elastic band is applied to the fabric in a selected place and sewn with a zigzag stitch with a width of 3-4 and a step of 1-2 without puncturing the vein . All work takes place on the wrong side of the product; the application of the main thread to the elastic is controlled visually.
After stitching, the elastic is pulled to the desired length and the ends are secured with knots. The main disadvantage of the method is the need to have a special foot.
The second method is more labor-intensive, but guarantees excellent sewing of the thread to the fabric and durability of the assembly. The method is described in the section below.
Ribbon chokers
Satin ribbons are an excellent material for creating chokers! Even a small thin black ribbon, tied in a bow and decorated with a small pearl, can be a decoration on your neck.
Afinka DIY demonstrates the simplest options for making a choker with your own hands from ribbon in its master classes:
A voluminous bow secured with a satin ribbon will add a piquant touch to the look. It is better to dilute the black color with something bright, for example, such a bright red center.
A wide satin ribbon will enhance the effectiveness of the image of an attractive woman. Shades of red always attract attention.
Satin combined with multi-colored stones will make your look more interesting and sophisticated.
Ribbon chokers are very popular due to their ease of manufacture and sophistication. Brooches, beads, seed beads, rhinestones, etc. are suitable for decorating them. It is also not necessary to make a clasp; the ribbon can simply be tied at the back.
Or make an elegant bow on the side, the long ends of which will hang beautifully in front. In this case, you can combine ribbons of contrasting colors.
If you have various decorative “things” left from a bag, belt and clothes, then you can safely decorate a satin ribbon with them.
If you have a necklace lying around that no one has worn for a long time, you can also use it to make a choker. You wrap the necklace with bright ribbons, and the decoration can be made from threads in the form of fluffy tassels.
Beads of different sizes can make a voluminous choker.
An ornament made of simple checkered fabric will look very cute on a child’s neck. You can decorate it with bows and a strawberry-shaped pendant.
Various fabric elastic bands
First, let's look at how these accessories are made from scrap materials, such as:
- ordinary pieces of fabric;
- beads;
- pieces of underwear rubber bands and other household items.
In the photo: how to make and apply elastic from a sock
For example, a hair tie made from a sock is quite common.
To make it you need:
- take a new and clean sock of a suitable color;
- carefully cut off the part intended for fingers;
- roll the sock into a tight donut;
- That’s it – you have a ponytail retainer ready.
But there are other, more sophisticated methods. We will talk about them in the following subsections.
Making kanzashi
Now let's talk about how to make a kanzashi hair tie.
For this you will need:
- fabric you like for its color;
- one bead of any color; It’s better if it matches harmoniously with the selected fabric;
- rubber;
- threads;
- a piece of thick cardboard;
- needle;
- scissors.
This is what you should get
Note. All the described methods use simple components. Even if you don’t have something at home, you can buy it in the nearest store. The price of such components is minimal.
Stage | Description |
First | Cut out three circles of different diameters from cardboard:
|
Second | Place each circle on the fabric, trace and cut out. You need to make five fabric circles of each diameter. As a result, you should have 15 circles. |
Third | Next, start working with circles:
|
Fourth | Now sew the flowers - the largest one should be at the bottom. |
Fifth | Sew an elastic band to the bottom flower. |
Sixth | Attach a bead to the middle of a small flower - you can use glue for this. Instead of a bead, a beautiful bright stone will do. |
Sew the folded circle.
We collect the petals into a flower.
In this photo, three flowers of different sizes are sewn into one
Making an ordinary flower
Here is another method on how to sew a fabric hair tie.
To make it you will need the following components:
- fabric of the color you like;
- circle of suede of small diameter;
- rivet;
- threads;
- needle, scissors;
- regular elastic band for fixing strands;
- glue.
Note. This decoration can be called a bracelet - a hair tie, since it is worn in a similar way and allows you not only to fix the curls, but also to decorate them.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Take the fabric and cut a strip about five centimeters wide from it.
- On one side of this strip, cut out small, neat petals of the future flower.
The fabric must first be gathered onto a thread
- Glue the strip onto the suede circle with the petals facing out.
- Glue a rivet in the middle of the almost finished flower.
Hairpin with rivet
- Glue an elastic band to the back of the flower.
- Wait for the glue to dry.
- DIY hair decorations are ready.
Final result
Note. Knitted hair ties are even easier to make. Of course, if you know how to knit. Take a regular rubber band and tie it in a circle.
The knitting pattern can be anything your imagination dictates.
Simple hairpin decoration
If you are interested in simple, most common hair clips, then to make them you will need small hair bands, as well as:
- a piece of fabric measuring ten by fifty centimeters;
- scissors;
- sewing machine.
The product is created as follows:
- the fabric is folded from the wrong side;
- stitched along the edge - the indentation should not be more than one centimeter;
- the fabric is folded inward and then folded in half;
In the photo: exactly how to fold the fabric
- machine stitched along the stitched edge;
- about 3 cm before the place where the stitching begins, it is necessary to provide a small hole - it is needed for the elastic;
- the fabric is turned right side out;
Once sewn, turn right side out.
- the underwear elastic is threaded and tied;
- the remaining part is stitched;
- The finished elastic band straightens out - and the decoration is completely ready for use.
All that remains is to sew up the place where the elastic was inserted
Now you know how to make a hair tie from regular fabric, but there are other materials that are suitable for these accessories.
Velvet chokers
A velvet choker is a universal decoration and looks organic with almost all clothes, if you choose the right color scheme.
Based on the basic colors of your wardrobe, you can make chokers of various colors, as they say, “for all occasions in life.”
You can decorate a homemade velvet choker with anything you have at hand: bows, beads, rings, decorative crosses.
A black velvet choker does not tolerate competition, so it is better to wear it on an open neck without any other jewelry, or with thin chains that match its style.
Velvet is a material that looks very impressive in itself. Therefore, you should not overload your product with various decorative decorations.
We use plastic
Plastic hair ties are quite popular because they are beautiful and sophisticated. Luckily, you can also make them yourself.
Note. You can buy soft plastic in specialized stores for creativity. It can be very different.
For example, thermosetting, requiring heating up to several hundred degrees to harden. And there is one that only needs to spend about twenty minutes in a regular oven.
Example of a plastic rubber band
This material has many advantages:
- sculpting with it is a lot of fun;
- it has a great variety of shades;
- You can make any shapes from it.
For example, it is easy to sculpt ordinary ladybugs. Or some other similar beautiful composition. You can paint the product using ordinary acrylic paints - they are very durable, do not wash off and will ensure the brightness of the product.
Once the plastic is finished in the oven, glue a rubber band to it.
Literally anything can be made from plastic:
- bows;
- flowers;
- insects and other figures.
Thread chokers
A thread choker is no less original. This decoration will enliven any everyday look: be it jeans with a shirt or a dress.
Olga Konovaltseva tells in her master class what materials and in what quantities are best to use when weaving a choker from yarn:
You can make a calmer version of a braided choker using pastel-colored threads. For ties we use a simple satin ribbon.
By decorating our braid around the edge with beads, we get such an elegant choker. It can be worn with an evening dress or simply with a white shirt.
By weaving beads directly into a braid, you can make such variations of “modest” chokers. You can wear them either one at a time or several at once. When making them, you can use any thread and even bleached twine.
There are different options for weaving a choker with your own hands from threads. This is a great option for baubles lovers.
You can decorate a choker made of threads with various pendants, for example, in the shape of a sun, or by attaching your amulet, a cross or any natural stone to it.
Using metal elements (rings, chains) you can get such a “rich” braid for the neck.
The braid can also be woven into a large metal chain.
Using a blank, a thick cord or an old necklace, you can make a bright choker by tightly wrapping it with threads of various colors.
In conclusion
If desired, you can even make elastic bands - hair spirals - from the appropriate materials; however, we have only told you about the simplest methods for creating this essential accessory. This process is incredibly exciting and will allow you to create a true work of art, the value of which also lies in the fact that you made it with your own hands.
The additional video in this article will help you better understand the basic principles of making hair clips.

Products made from leather and its substitutes always look stylish and impressive, especially in costume jewelry. Such jewelry is mainly preferred by fans of casual and military styles. To make a leather choker you don’t need any special skills.
A narrow strip of leather will further emphasize the slender neck of its owner. As a lock, you can use ties made of thread or suede cord with “brooms” at the ends.
A laconic strip of brown suede will perfectly complement the delicate look.
Using a metal ring, rivets and pink leather, you can create a trendy accessory.
A strip of leather, a chain, glue and accessories - all this in deft hands gives birth to a stylish decoration. It will look extremely good with both a dress and leather items.
From a small piece of leather stitched along the contour on a machine, as well as metal rivets, you can create a designer decoration. Be individual!
How to sew with elastic thread on a sewing machine
To properly sew with elastic thread on a sewing machine, you need to take into account some operating features. Learn step-by-step instructions for creating an elastic gather.
Step 1. Threading the sewing machine
The elastic thread is threaded into the bobbin case of the machine , while the working thread made of cotton, silk or polyester, matched to the color of the fabric, is used as the top thread.
Step-by-step threading of elastic thread into a sewing machine:
- Wind the spandex thread onto the bobbin.
- Thread the thread into the bobbin case.
- Adjust the thread tension.
- Install the cap into the sewing machine.
- Make the first stitch on the test fabric.
During sewing, regular sewing thread will run along the front side of the product, and an elastic thread will be sewn on the back side.
Chokers made of laces and beads
Even a child can make a choker from lace and beads with his own hands! But this fact does not take away from this product its charm.
Such chokers can be connected to each other, forming, for example, a triangle from beads in the middle.
Chokers made from laces can simply be tied around the neck. You can also use the laces to weave a neat braid and tie the resulting choker into a bow!
You can use a small piece of a large chain as a choker decor.
Decorative embellishments (rings, hearts, leaves, etc.) will make string jewelry more interesting. Note that the laces can be used in various colors, and not just the usual black and brown. Red color will always make you stand out from the crowd.
Braided cords can be used to create a choker, and together with beads you will get such a creative decoration.
Felt bracelet
Making knots takes time, but with this project you can make a bracelet for a girl's arm by embroidering the design on felt! It is ideal for those who want to show off their feelings while making a bracelet for a special someone.
Here's what you need: Wool felt in two colors
- Cut a strip of felt measuring 2 cm by 25 centimeters.
- The length may vary, but folded in half it should fit your wrist with a small gap.
- Fold the felt in half and begin embroidering the chevron. Each “knot” is made with two stitches almost on top of each other, away from the center.
- Alternate two colors of fabric, sewing each row, leaving a small space between them.
- Continue the pattern to the end, but leave about 1.5 cm of space.
- Cut three strips of felt 45cm long. Sew the ends of the bracelet together with three pieces of fabric.
- Place each piece in the middle to create an equal amount of length on each side.
- Twist the strands on each side, then tie them in a knot. To tie a wrist wrap, simply thread the braided pieces through the fold and tie.
Choker scarf

A bright scarf, tightly tied around your neck, can radically change your entire appearance, as well as enhance all the necessary accents.
For girls who prefer calmer colors in everyday clothes, a good option would be to combine a neckerchief in unison with the color scheme of the rest of their clothes. For example, a shirt with pale blue stripes will complement a dark blue scarf.
A universal option for many: a white shirt and a bright or more discreet choker scarf! A win-win!
A choker neckerchief is a truly fashionable accessory that will add charm and enhance the glamor of any lady!
