Double Leather Choker: DIY

Have you ever looked  for something that you have envisioned in your mind and come up with nothing? I have been looking everywhere for some leather chokers that fit my style and personality and after about 3  days of searching and finding nothing I  decided to create my own choker.

These are exactly  what I had  pictured in my mind. 

I have gotten so many comments about these chokers that I decided to create a  tutorial so you can create your very own dainty leather choker yourself.

Things You Need

•  Leather cord
• Pliers
• Ribbon crimps
• 3 jump rings
• Clasp
• Scissors
• Head pin
• Bead
• Chain (about 1 1/2 inches.)

•  First you will measure your  3 leather. Strips
• Wrap a piece of leather around your neck to measure.
• Make the piece  almost touch in the back.
• Cut two other strips 2 inches longer than your first strip.
• Three strips total.

•  Take the short piece of leather and one longer piece and put a ribbon crimp on one end.
• Flip over to the other side and with the shorter piece on top and the longer piece on the bottom place a ribbon crimp on the other side.

•  Add a jump ring and a clasp on one side.

•  Take the head pin thread it through your bead

•  Cut off the end and make a circle using the pliers

•  Attach the bead to the chain using a jump ring.

•  Attach the chain to the other side of the necklace.

• Optional

• To finish the ends of the necklace I used a ribbon findings and folded it over the end of the leather.

• Optional
•  I also clamped the two pieces of leather together using the same technique as the ends.
• Or you could just tie them together.

• On this one I cut the strips  a little shorter and then tied the two longer strips together.

I love mixing my chokers with other  different chokers, which creates my very own special look.

I am currently working on a video for this choker  that will be coming soon.

Have a beautiful day.
