Q&A for How to Make a Choker

Yes. Chokers have become quite popular these days, as many famous stars use them. They can be seen in many stores.

The first one is very hard and you have to have A LOT of patience, but it comes out really great, it's worth the trouble.

Waxed cord is the best type of string to use, and a 2-3 millimeter thickness is probably the best size.

The tattoo choker is simple, but tedious.

Add a circle clasp to the middle (or really anywhere you want, but the middle looks best), but DON'T close it yet. Then add any pendant (with an opening for the clasp) of your choice. Finally, close the clasp.

No, if you are making a tattoo choker you do not need a jump ring.

You can, but it won't be as stretchy or as comfortable as if you are using an elastic cord.

Yes. First, tie more knots, then melt those -- or, if you can, push the ends together, clamp and melt them. Or melt each end separately and attach them with a metal ring.

It's better to use elastic cord since it's stretchable, but you could really use any kind of string or thread that you had on hand.

Yes, chokers are for all ages. Chokers come in different sizes to suit anyone who wants to wear one.

Yes, you can. It will not be as stable and lasting, but it will work fine.

You could iron the edge under a sheet of baking paper if you have an iron.

Tie a ribbon around your neck. Make sure you don't choke yourself and it doesn't get stuck.

Yes. Just use 5 or more threads and it should turn out like a normal piece of elastic string.

You can use the ribbon technique and use a star patterned ribbon from Walmart or any fabric store.

I recommend hearts and stars. They are easy to use.

Sure, but it won't be particularly stretchy, which will make it more difficult to put on and take off.

Use a jump ring. This way, you can still open and close your choker until you find a replacement.

Anyone can. While chokers started as women's fashion, they don't rely on a gender identity.

Sewing thread breaks more easily, and it is not stretchy, so it is not an ideal substitute. If someone in your family does fishing, ask them for some invisible fishing line, this will work well as a substitute. Or, you may have invisible thread in the household sewing box, that would work well too. Embroidery thread is another choice that would be much stronger than sewing thread.
