Assembling the Choker Necklace
Arrange your motifs on a flat surface to create the desired choker shape. The image shows a central drop element and a band around the neck. Use a mix of colors and sizes. The green leaves often serve as connectors between flowers.
General Joining Method: Use Color C (Sage Green) or Color A (Cream) thread for joining. You can either sl st motifs together directly at contact points or use small chain spaces (ch 2-3) to bridge gaps, securing with sl st.
Top Band: Create a slightly curved band by joining flowers. For a clean edge, you can create a simple chain/sl st border along the top edge of the joined motifs. For example, work a row of sc or sl st in Color A or C along the top edge, chaining between attachment points.
Central Drop: Arrange 3-4 flowers cascading down from the center of the choker, often using a Medium Flower at the top, followed by Small Flowers. Leaves can be placed strategically. Attach a pearl bead to the very bottom point of the final dangling motif.
Side Attachments: On each end of the choker band, attach a short length of chain (approx. 1-2 inches) using Color C, then attach the jewelry clasp to one end and a jump ring to the other.
Finishing Touches
Weave in all loose ends securely using your tapestry needle.
Gently block your finished necklace by pinning it to shape on a blocking mat, dampening it, and allowing it to dry completely. For extra stiffness, you may apply a fabric stiffener solution before drying.
Attach the jewelry clasp to one end of the choker and a jump ring to the other end. If desired, attach a short length of jewelry chain (with a jump ring at the end) to one side for an adjustable fit.
