Very cool but impractical choker-handcuff thing!!

Hiii! Today's post is just me showing off this super cool thing that I made last Saturday. I don't really know what to call it but it has a choker and handcuffs that are connected by chains and obviously that makes it look really kinky lol.

I made it out of this kind of like vinyl leather fabric that used to be pants and while it looks very nice the fabric should've been thicker cause the chains are so heavy that they pull down the choker. (Update: I sewed some thicker leather inside the choker and this problem was solved! I wore this thing to a Turmion Kätilöt concert for reference!) The chain that I used my dad bought me about two years ago when I like really started dressing punk (nowadays I wouldn't say I dress punk though), the metal rings used to connect the chains to the choker and handcuffs are from old necklaces, and the satin ribbon I bought last year for a different project that ended up being a failure.

Like the post title says, the choker-handcuff thing is very impractical and takes forever to put on but again it looks cool as fuck, soo. But seriously I didn't consider the fact that the ribbon for lacing the choker should be longer than for the handcuffs cause obviously the circumference of a head is way bigger than a hand and now I need to basically take the whole ribbon off to put on the choker :'(. Also this reminds me that my favourite part of making this thing was definitely burning the ends of the satin ribbon hehehe.

This thing is especially impractical for playing the guitar </3. The chain connecting the right handcuff and the choker hits the strings and so I can't wear it while playing.


While I was making this choker-handcuff thing I started watching Blood & Water and it's really good, I recommend it. Also another recommendation but this time for music is Psyclon Nine, I listened to them for the first time last week and they're sooo good. I specifically recommend the album "We The Fallen" and the songs called "Heartworm", "There But For The Grace Of God" and "Suicide Note Lullaby"!! I saw a picture of them on Pinterest and they looked cool so I decided to listen to them. (The picture I saw below.)

Also I bought the pants and the top about a week or so ago! The pants are from H&M and they were size 48 (I usually wear size 40, depends on the brand and whether I buy men's or women's clothes though) both because nowadays I prefer looser pant legs and also because I couldn't find more of the same jeans (they were on sale) and I've wanted this kind of pants for sooo long. The top was like half a euro at a thrift store and as dumb as it sounds I've also wanted this kind of top for a long time but haven't found one even though it's like so basic.

Thx 4 reading!! V
