This look was very popular back in the day during the 90&#8217;s and early 00&#8217;s. Since it is making it is way back into fashion, many high end stores are charging an arm and a leg for something as simple as string.\u00a0For example, a\u00a0store like Nordstrom I found online charged\u00a0$28.00 for a necklace like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/13170448.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-39\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/13170448-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"_13170448\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/13170448-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/13170448.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This necklace\u00a0is so simple to recreate for way less. What you need is leather trim. You can get two yards worth for only $2.99 at Jo Ann Fabrics. This is the part where you can add your own style to it. You can make it how long or short you\u00a0wish.\u00a0Once you know your\u00a0desired length just cut\u00a0off any\u00a0extra length.\u00a0Next\u00a0you simply wrap it around\u00a0your neck how ever\u00a0tight or loose.\u00a0There you\u00a0have it!\u00a0Your own long string cocker. The nice thing about this style of choker is the different possibilities\u00a0with tying it. You can have a loose knot like the picture shows or you can tie it into a bow because that is another look at is popular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-40\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag\" width=\"203\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag-973x1024.jpg 973w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/il_fullxfull_919080342_aaag.jpg 1425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another style of chokers that can be a DIY is a band with a charm. There are charms available on Amazon for about four to five dollars. Same concept as the last necklace, buying the same leather trim material and adding the charm. To make a necklace that has a clasp in the back it is also a simple addition. Once again found on Amazon for about $3 and can be applied to the end of the necklace, squeezing it\u00a0with a tweezers.\u00a0Overall, getting a look for under ten dollars when it could cost almost $30.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-41\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb-300x297.jpg\" alt=\"a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb\" width=\"212\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb-303x300.jpg 303w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/beautyonabudget\/files\/2017\/02\/a530a9f5132ad3922a0d341ff3d840bb.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fashion trend that is popular lately is choker necklaces.
