Wrap the ribbon around your neck, leaving a 1.5-inch gap at the center of your neck, then cut the ribbon.

Step Two

Cut two tiny holes at both ends of the ribbon for the eyelets, leaving an equal distance between the holes on each side. Squeeze an eyelet through a hole and clamp it down with pliers. Repeat for each hole.

Lace string through the top two eyelets and slide the choker over your head. Criss-cross the string, then tie a cute bow. Cut the string to your desired length. (Leave enough so you can adjust the choker later on.)
