00:04Hi guys, I'm Chloe with Refinery29 and today we'll be making a neon necklace.
00:09I was inspired by so many pieces on Pinterest right now that are mixing
00:12plastic and bright colors, so this is my take on it. Let's get started.
00:17What you'll need is a piece of plastic, a chain, gem, a pen, exacto knife, pliers,
00:27scissors, and a glue gun. For the first step, I'm going to go ahead and cut out a piece of
00:31plastic,
00:32and I'm going to use this old cosmetic bag, but any type of plastic will work.
00:37So I'm going to go ahead and cut the side out, use my exacto knife and just do a little
00:43slit,
00:45and then go in with my scissors and cut a piece out. So now I have my piece of plastic,
00:50I'm going to go ahead and draw a hexagon shape on it, and it doesn't have to be too precise.
00:54You can use a ruler if you want. I'm just going to freehand it. So I'm going to go ahead
01:00and cut it out.
01:01Now I'm going to take my gems and arrange them on the plastic and then begin gluing them on.
01:14So once the gems are secure and let them sit for a little while, now you're going to go ahead
01:18and take your chain.
01:19I have this one from Forever 21 that I just snipped in half, and I have the clasp at the
01:24bottom here.
01:25So I'm going to lay that out, and then take my exacto knife, and I'm going to be doing two
01:31small slits in the plastic right on the edges on the sides there.
01:36You'll want to go ahead and open up the end of the chain here with your pliers, and then we're
01:42going to be looping it through the plastic.
01:46Go ahead and just pinch it shut. And then once you've secured that other side, you're all done and you
01:52have a great neon piece that's perfect for spring.
