Neon

I really can't get enough of neon. I've been wearing these neon chevron earrings all Spring and had to make another neon accessory for my wardrobe. Not only is this DIY project so easy to make, but you probably have most of the supplies at home. Grab a few straws, add some paint and paper and you've got a stylish and funky necklace. It's really that easy! Best of all, the gold spray paint gives a heavy, metal chain look and only you will know what's really hiding underneath!

Get creative and craft up a matching bracelet, earrings or ring. Follow the steps below to make your own one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.

Materials:
• 3 Straws
• Gold Spray Paint 
• Colorful Paper (tip: look for interesting prints from a magazine. I reused pages from an old Bloomingdale's catalog)
• Tacky Glue
• Needle & Thread

Steps:
• Spray paint straws. 
• Cut an inch or two off, depending on how big you'd like your triangles to be.

• Fold them into a triangular shape and insert one of the ends into the other to close.
• Attach paper to each triangle with glue.

• Run needle & thread through the back of the necklace to connect the triangles.
