Take a quick
visit to your local hardware store and purchase a couple of pieces of washers
or “tingga”. These disk-like thingies are generally used to support or fasten
screws but is also used to play “sipa” if covered with cloth or strips of plastic bags.
Believe it or not, you could also use them to quickly create a fashionable accessory! Washers come in different sizes so feel free to experiment with different designs.
For this specific piece use five washers in 3 sizes (1 large, 2 medium and 2 small). Keep the smallest sized washers on each end, with the largest at the center. If you don’t like your choker to appear too shiny you may distress the washers by beating it with a hammer or by scratching the surface with sandpaper. Off set or balance the edgy hardware with a dainty and brightly colored ribbon.
