Seven Days of DIY - Day 6 Peter Pan Necklace/Adult Bib

Happy Sunday Funday! I hope you all have been enjoying a day filled with football and more football. I sure have!

Today's post is about a popular necklace that I've ran across while strolling along my favorite site Pinterest (I'm addicted... it's kind of a problem). The Peter Pan necklace that cute little hipster librarian girls like to wear with their button up shirts is just too cute for words. I also like to call this the adult bib because it goes around your neck the way a Gerber baby would rock a "My capes on backwards bib." Of course I don't recommend eating chicken wings and hoping your fancy necklace will free your top from buffalo sauce.... cuz it wont! If you enjoy the peter pan necklace look as much as I do and would like to make one of your very own follow my tutorial below. Enjoy. :)

7 Days of DIY - Day 2 bright pink bubble necklace.

I'm sure most of you have noticed a popular trend on Pinterest, Fashion Freax and fashion blogs of pretty models and fashion bloggers wearing neon shoes, accessories, jewelry etc. With so many popular trends out there it's hard to distinguish which trends are going to stick around and which ones will be tossed away with yesterdays newspaper. So instead of investing your hard earn money on a trend why not get creative and design your very own neon jewelry. Below is a tutorial I put together of my bright pink bubble necklace I just created today. Please leave me a comment and let know if you have any questions about today's post.

Supplies:

Tools: You will also need round nose pliers, tweezers and wire cutters for the chain.

Step 1 :

 Actually need to paint the medium jump rings not the large ones. :)  
Step 2:


Step 3:

Leave time for the acrylic to dry for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4:


Step 5:


Step 6:


Step 7:

Step 11:

Boom! There you have it. Bubbles of pink neon fun!
