DIY Gift Ideas - Crystal Choker/Necklace ♡

Hey guys! ♡ 

Hope you're all well. Today marks the first day of me stressing about Christmas approaching! I walked into work today and what do I hear...the Christmas playlist!! I had to check the date as I actually thought I was going mad. I hadn't realised how fast it crept up until I was walking down the high street and saw all the christmas jumpers, window displays, street light decorations etc.

I'm the type of person that plans Christmas early, I like to get presents that have a lot of thought gone into them. This is the first part of a DIY christmas series that I'll be doing on my blog. As you may have noticed, I've been trying to daily blog recently and I'm hoping to keep it up.

The first DIY gift idea that I'm sending your way is a Crystal Choker/Necklace. Now I know this may not be for everyone, but they make cute little gifts for a stocking filler, secret santa, if you've got a large group of friends to buy for etc. Choker's have been all the rage recently in fashion, especially the tattoo chokers which I'm a culprit of owning one myself. 



The pink choker shown is the one that I made myself. I will list the materials I used to make this and a few other alternatives too as there is a variety of colours and shapes you can choose.

This one is slightly different because I accidentially bent the top of it and had to thread the cord through the back, making it attatch directly onto the cord instead of through the loop at the top. 

Here are a few different shops on ebay which provide all the materials you will need to create this cute little gift idea;


Crystals
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 

These are just the first ones that I found which I liked the most. I first typed in 'crystal pendant charm' which just came up with swarovski style crystal charms. Then I found that if you search for a crystals name such as 'amethyst charm' it comes up with these options. You can do this for any different type of crystal/stone that you like and it will come up with a variety of options. 


Cord/Necklace Chain
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,


Alternatively, you could also attatch them to a tattoo choker
1 , 2 


Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this DIY post! I hope it gives you a few ideas of small presents for people that have a lot of love and care put into them.
  
Have an awesome day
