How to Make a Pantyhose Necklace

When I was in 7th grade (I'm in 11th now) I used to see a bunch of girls in my gym class with these little black choker necklaces, I always wanted to ask where they got them or how they made them, but I never did. Then one day I overheard them say that they were made out of pantyhose. There was no spare pantyhose around my house, and I don't think my mom would've appreciated me bying some just to cut it apart and make a necklace, so I forgot about them. Until about five minutes ago. I looked up "pantyhose necklace" on google, and it came up with results! Sadly, there aren't any pictures of it, and I kind of wanted one for this...ah well. I think I might have some black pantyhose that I wore to band banquet my freshman year that I never did fit into, nor did I like, and that I wouldn't mind cutting up and making into a necklace. I'm going to go find them now, good day!

In case you're curious...

1.Find a pair of pantyhose with the color of your choice. Think colorful.
2.Pick a leg of the pantyhose and take the largest part of it (usually the upper thigh).
3.Cut a piece of pantyhose about 1 to 2 inches (2.5cm - 5cm) thick. Make sure that it is still a complete, closed circle after cutting.
4.Roll it. The piece should roll up by itself so it is less than a centimeter thick. If not, use your fingers to roll it up.
5.Wear it. Because it's so stretchy, you can stretch it over your head and around your neck. It won't be tight because of the stretchiness, and it's awesomely stylish and unique!


There you go!!!
