And now this interesting decoration is back in fashion. Let's see how it happens and how to weave a choker.

Men, after their favorite movie heroes, also want to show off in stylish ornaments.

And we'll learn how to weave a choker out of a line and thread.

Choker of Threads

Use conventional threads for decoration is hardly worth it. The choker should be elastic, so for him take threads floss. Materials that are still needed are:

• suspension;
• Buckle ring;
• Scotch;
• scissors.

Suspension is best treated with a colorless varnish and allow it to dry.

1. We measure the diameter of the neck, add a couple of centimeters and measure the necessary length. We take six threads of the same color, first we knit it and fix it with adhesive tape.
2. To the main thread at a right angle we attach a thread of a different color. It will be braided thread-base.
3. After winding the thread at the bottom we tie a knot so it does not fall apart. Then we take another thread and also wrap it. And so all the threads.
4. If the pendant wants to weave, it is necessary to note where the middle will be, and continue.
5. At the end of the thread, we clip and fasten the fasteners.

How to weave a choker from a line

Tattoo-chokers make it even easier. If everything works out, the picture really will resemble a tattoo. The main thing for this is to pick up a thin wire or line. Some lover use a cord to weave from charging a mobile phone or from old headphones. Before weaving a choker, we also need to prepare:

• Clamp, sold in any stationery store;
• A solid foundation, such as a book.

1. We take the cord length of 3-4 meters, add it in half and attach it with a clothespin. All further weaving should not forget to stretch, so that twists and knots do not turn out. At the same time, do not overdo it to keep the "airy" look.
2. We make a loop on one side, and let the other end into it. The knot should look outward.
3. We need to weave one by one, then on the other side, until the cord ends.
4. At the end of the work fasten the clasp.

Some prefer to complement the decoration with a pendant. It can be strung in the process of work or attached at the end.

Sometimes choose a colored wire, which looks original without any additional beads and pendants.

If different wires or a cord are used, they should have the same thickness. In this case the thinner they will be, the more spectacular they will look at the neck.

How to wear?

In addition, how to weave a choker, it must be properly worn. This decoration is not suitable for official meetings, business style or strict classics. But with everyday wear with jeans and T-shirts it will look harmonious. And made by own hands, the choker will emphasize the individuality of its possessor.
