I adore the looks of some of them...and there's certainly a style for EVERYone....BUT I just can't justify paying $14.99 for some string, ribbon, faux leather....
sorry +Target BUT if you are NOT a do-it-yourself kinda girl, check out these GREAT options http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=choker#sn-17018133 +Target . There is this GORG Kenneth J Lane pearl and rhinestone choker that mama likey....
Image via +Target and retails for $125.00 (I did a double take...Target's fashion jewelry is never that much BUT Kenneth's name carries a price....something like this might actually be perfect for my 40 & Fabulous photo shoot).
On to the tutorial - that is what ya came here to see - right?!?!
EVERYWHERE I go is an opportunity to find INSPIRATION....maybe that's the mind of an artist/crafter....
As I mentioned above, I didn't want to pay $10 - 15.00 for a simple choker....So while just perusing through Ross I spied this headband that I thought would make a PERFECT choker!! Thin, lightweight and could EASILY be de-constructed (literally this project took 7 minutes...including finding my supplies....so I have no idea WHY I procrastinated SO LONG on doing it!! I've had this headband since early November). As you can see from the backside photo it was only $2.99 - sounds like a GREAT price point to me!!!
The elastic was attached to metal circles already clamped on the headband - SCORE!!! I simply opened the ring and removed the elastic from BOTH sides....
I went ahead and clamped on a necklace extender (a left over from another jewelry project - this is a PERFECT example of why NOT to throw away things) on one side, and the clasp on the other (lucky for me it was the PERFECT length).
Whatcha think?!?! Worth $2.99?!?! FO'SURE!!!!
Anyone remember the movie the name on my t-shirt is from?!?! Leave YOUR answer in the comment section!!! Maybe we'll have to do a lil giveaway!!
