Put the choker around your neck to make sure it fits and tie the ends into a very tight double knot. Leave about 1 inch of extra space so that the choker is not too tight and you can take it off with ease. Cut off any extra string.

Tips & Warnings
Elastic string works best because you can take the choker on and off without having to untie it.
Make sure the choker is not too tight, as it can cut off the circulation at the neck. If you start to feel dizzy, or the candy digs into your skin, remove the choker.
