How to make a: Choker


Instructions for the Bow Pins:

   Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 20" or longer. Fold the tape onto itself so the final piece is the same length, just 1/2 the width and non-sticky on both sides. Using scissors, cut the width of this strip in half length wise. (Keep it long, just thinner) Measure the neck of the person who will wear the Choker. Add 1/2" for overlap on the back. Cut the strip to this new length. Add 1/2" pieces of velcro to the ends of the strip making sure to place one part on the outside of the duc_ tape strip and the other piece of velcro on the under side of the duc_ tape strip. The circular neck section is complete. You are now ready to make the bow.
   Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 5" or longer. Fold the tape onto itself so the final piece is the same length, just 1/2 the width and non-sticky on both sides. Using scissors, cut the width of the strip in half length wise. (Keep the length, only thinner) Trim this strip to a final length of 3". Lay the strip flat so that it is wide. Take both outside ends and fold them towards the center overlapping by 1/4". Glue at the center. First the bottom to middle and then the middle to top layer.
   Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 2" or longer. Using scissors, cut the piece to 1/2" by 1". Wrap the center of the previously made bow to create a center section that is 1/2" in width and ends in the back. Your bow is now complete. Attach the bow to the center of the choker with glue. (Hot glue gun set to low temp with adult supervision)
