I became fixated at neon accessories, I always look at them at online stores, so it gave me an idea to teach you how to turn your unwanted/old accessories to neon accessories, so you can use them again in a trendier way.

All you need is your unwanted/old accessories, preferably of metal or crystal composition, cardboard, and neon spray paint (can be bought at any hardware stores).

I will be using neon yellow spray paint for these examples.



I have been using spray paints for my art projects for a long time, so I don't find it difficult using it now, but if you don't have experience with spray paints yet, I suggest you practice first with spraying on to other objects before using it with your jewelries. 







I used the crystal necklace and earrings, and the metal cuff that I bought for a very cheap price.

The cardboard is for protection for surfaces where you will do your spraying so you won't get paint on them.

I first sprayed on the metal cuff, then the earrings, and lastly the necklace. 








Easy 'ayt?! 

The paint dries off easily, so you don't have to wait for a long time to see the results. 





Now I have my own set of neon yellow accesories! Yey! 
I will use them for my future post, so stay tuned. 

Comment if you want me to post how to do ombre accessories.

 I hope you learned from this post and hope you can apply this to your accessories. 

More posts to come! :)
