When my daughter first asked about making a choker necklace, I had one of those slightly rude crafting moments where you realise the trends you remember the first time around are suddenly back again. Chokers are officially having another turn in the spotlight, and honestly, it makes perfect sense. They are easy to wear, fun to personalise, and one of the simplest ways to make a handmade necklace that feels both retro and current. The original post leans into that nostalgic comeback, sharing a personal story about vintage fashion coming full circle and rounding up 17 DIY choker tutorials made from all sorts of different materials.
One of the best things about DIY choker necklaces is that they can be as affordable or as dressed-up as you want them to be. The original article points out that the tutorials use a mix of supplies, some pricier than others, but that you can keep things budget-friendly with basic jewelry-making materials. That makes this the kind of project that works just as well for beginners raiding the craft stash as it does for jewelry makers planning a more polished handmade collection.
Why Choker Necklaces Keep Coming Back
Chokers are one of those jewelry trends that never stay gone for long. They can be soft and feminine, bold and edgy, boho and beachy, or sleek and modern depending on the materials you use. That flexibility is exactly why they keep resurfacing. The original roundup includes chokers made with beads, ribbon, lace, pearls, metal, bandanna fabric, leather, suede, shells, and even crochet, which shows just how much room there is to play with the look.
If you have been looking for easy choker necklace ideas, this style is especially handy because:
- they do not need a huge amount of materials
- they can be made fairly quickly
- they suit lots of age groups and styles
- they are great for using up stash supplies
- they work for gifts, fashion accessories, and market stock
And let’s be honest, a good choker project is also a nice excuse to justify keeping those random ribbon scraps and odd beads you were absolutely not going to throw out anyway.
So back to chokers, they are cool again my friends and whilst I have since thrown mine out we have started making our own and here are some of our favorite tutorials. All of these tutorials have different supplies, some more expensive than others, but you can make them as affordable as you like with basic jewellery Making supplies
