Velvet ribbon necklaces and chokers

This is one of my favourite ways to make a necklace - extremely quick and simple but I think it looks beautiful. I use velvet ribbon but it would also work with satin ribbon and possibly lace, though that might not be sturdy enough. I personally don't like to use leather or faux leather because it can get very sweaty and uncomfortable, but you can absolutely use that too if you want! Craft shops also sell patterned or embroidered ribbon.

I've even done variants on this which were made from just a long strip of fabric which I hemmed along the edges.

In addition to the ribbon you will need rivets or eyelets, d-rings or o-rings, and heavy snap studs to fasten them.

The pendants in these photos came from various places: the flower cameo was thrifted, the wolfs cross was bought from some alternative shop I don't remember the name of decades ago, the leaf and the large ocean jasper came from an Etsy shop called Enchanted Creations (link here) and the ivy is Alchemy Gothic.

For whatever reason I decided I didn't like the necklaces they came on so I remade them. The pendant parts and chains were attached using jewellery pliers and either jump rings or links of the chain if it was large enough.

Then all you need to do is loop your ribbon through the d-rings and poke a hole through both layers (I have a leather punch I tend to use but you can also use scissors) then secure it with either a rivet or an eyelet. You can buy these online or in craft shops, they're usually very cheap, come in various colours of metal and have instructions for how to put them together. They're fairly self-explanatory - one half on each side of the fabric and hit them with a hammer a few times. If using rivets make sure you put the pieces on the correct sides.

You could also use screw on spikes. Anything that will keep the ends together will work - obviously you could sew them too, but this looks neater (than my hand sewing anyway!) and gives a bit of extra visual interest.

To get the right length of ribbon I just put it around my neck making sure to overlap the ends then add a couple of centimetres extra for the folds. If the ribbon is synthetic (most of the the time they will be) use a lighter to singe the ends slightly. This will cause it to melt a little and prevent fraying. Please be careful when doing this! You don't need to put the ribbon *in* the flame, just close enough to heat it.

For fastenings I always use heavy snap studs. These make the fastening very secure and neat looking - it will lay completely flat to the back of your neck.

These studs come in 4 parts.

Again, double over the ends of the ribbon, poke a hole through both layers, put the correct pieces of the fastening on each side and hit them with a hammer a few times. These can likewise be bought online and come with a tool and instructions for use. The most important thing with these is to make sure all parts are facing the right direction so you can close them properly.

Here are some brief instructions I found online for how to use them.

Again, you don't have to fasten them the way I do, whatever way suits you is fine. Even a safety pin would work!

This basic method can be used to make collars too, I did a cyber collar a while back (full post here)

As I said above you can use any kind of ribbon you like, patterned or plain, or even a long strip of fabric, that's what I did for this collar.

You could cover it with safety pins, buttons, embroidery, fabric paint, whatever you like!

DIY cybergoth collar

I've been customising this dress, and I thought it would be cool to have a matching collar. Pics with and without flash to show how it might look under club lights!

I used some of the yellow fabric, cut a piece that was a little longer than the length around my neck so it can overlap at the ends, and a little more than twice as wide as I needed.

I doubled it over and sewed around the edges - pro tip - to save having to turn it inside out, just turn in all the edges a little, iron them down, then fold over along the width and top-stitch all around the edge. This will make it nice and flat, and save the tedium of turning a narrow piece of fabric inside out.

I didn't have any yellow thread so used black for contrast in a narrow zig-zag, and deliberately made it messy. Messy on purpose > trying to be neat and failing! I used my sewing machine but this could also be done by hand.

The reflector was stolen from a high visibility jacket which I don't really wear anymore. I glued it down first using pva glue, and then put spikes through which will help hold it in place if the glue starts to degrade. These are the screw on kind where you poke a hole through for the base and screw the spike on. The ring is from a key-chain, and this will just be sewn on by hand.

I always fasten collars and chokers with heavy duty snap studs. These are cheaper and safer than a buckle (no choking hazard if the collar gets caught on something or someone grabs it as they'll break apart under pressure) but are still very secure and are neater and easier to fasten than using safety pins or similar.

They come in a packet, each stud has 4 parts and the tool for attaching them is included. You'll need something to make a small hole to insert them. I have a leather punch but you could just use the end of scissors to poke a hole. You'll also need a hammer and a sturdy surface to do this on. I usually use my kitchen floor, you might end up damaging a tabletop or desk.

The instructions are usually printed on the packet but they're pretty simple to figure out, not too different to inserting eyelets. Just make sure you're inserting them the right way around so you can close them correctly - check and double check before hammering them shut! Can be bought online, but sewing and crafting stores usually have them too.
