Sweet, right? I recently bought it at an estate sale and love that I finally got my hands on a neon accessory. Neon is so hot right now and, although I don't normally follow trends, I've been intrigued about this one. Especially because I wear a lot of grey, white and black - a great base for bright accessories!
Truthfully, I was looking for vintage jewellery to spray paint a highlighter hue, but looks like the work was done for me.
I've been collecting some DIY options for neon accessories and thought I might share, in case you'd like to DIY yourself some bright goodies. (I'm still on the hunt for some vintage supplies because one brooch is not enough). Here are some ideas:
Spray paint a necklace with your favorite neon hue, like this Glitter 'N Glue makeover . . .

The same technique can be applied to bracelets, too. Sonya Nimri neon-ified some simple bangles and they look great:

Or use some polymer clay, like this project from Henry Happened:

Just get creative! This project, from A Splendid Assemblage, is made from chain painted with nail polish!

Well, I'm off to don my new brooch and hunt for some accessories itching for a makeover.
