Neon bracelet.

Another monday, another post.
One of my close friend her birthday was coming up, so I decided to make her a bracelet.
An easy breasy DIY with a beautiful neon bracelet as a result.

What you'll need
- a chain (found this one at Veritas)
- some neon cord (found this one at Hexagoon (Leuven))
- a jewlery clasp

extra: some pliers, super glue

Tutorial



Step by step
1) Measure your wrist to make sure you have enough material
2) Start to 'weave' the cord between the chain
3) At the end of your bracelet, add the jewlery clasp parts
   TIP: Secure the cord with a drop of superglue

And there you go! Is as simple as that.

Neon Lace Necklace.

Over the years I collected my share of lace fabrics. I even sometimes buy a shirt just because of a beautiful lace application with the intention to cut it out and make something totally different out of it.
Also for this DIY I dug in my collection of lace and gave it a neon-spray-tan. Given that I am currently craving the neon trend, I need to restrain myself not to spray everything around me neon.
I found these two fabrics at two totally different places. The first piece of fabric I found a while ago at a local fabric shop. The second one are old (and hideous) curtains my mom used to own. My brothers will be so pleased to see I put a pair of scissors in them.

Tutorial

What you'll need
- Lace 
   TIP: Use white lace - I tried it with darker lace and it didn't work 
- Neon spray
- Jewelry clasp
- Chain

extra : scissors, needle and thread, pliers

Step by step
OPTION I
 1) Cut out little patterns you find in the fabric
 2) Place them together and sew them into a new pattern
 3) Give it a spray
 4) Add the chain and jewelry clasp

OPTION II
 1) If you can find a pattern in the lace that suits your wishes, just cut it out as a whole
 2) Spray it!
 3) Add the chain and jewelry clasp

The coolest part of it all is definitely the spraying part. I just love to give things a -neon- spray tan.
